Description
The Logic of Nothingness: A Study of Nishida Kitaro offers a unique insight into the philosophy of Nishida Kitaro, a Japanese philosopher whose ideas continue to influence contemporary thought. This book provides a detailed analysis of Nishida's mature philosophical system, exploring the concept of basho, or place, and its significance in his thought. Robert Wargo's study reveals the connections between Nishida's philosophy and the work of earlier Japanese philosophers, such as Inoue Enryo and Inoue Tetsujiro. By examining the logic of basho, Wargo sheds new light on Nishida's early work and provides a valuable tool for understanding his complex ideas. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Japanese philosophy and the development of Nishida's thought.
