()(The English speaking philosophers will welcome the translation of the LIntelligibility and the Philosophy of NothingnessL, by Kitaro Nishida, who is unanimously considered as the most distinguished and representative thinker in modern Japan. I have personally been able to ascertain his powerful influence on the philosophical life in various Japanese Universities. Whoever is interested in the general interplay of ideas throughout the world will be anxious to find out how an original philosopher in the Far East reacts to Western dialectical thinking and contrives to adapt it to Asiatic mentality.@„CONTENTS^@INTRODUCTION^@1.The Difficulties of Understanding^@2.The Historical Background of Modern Japanese Philosophy^@3.Nishida as The Representative Philosopher of Modern Japan^@4.Being and Nothingness (Introduction to LThe Intelligible WorldL)^@5.Art and Metaphysics (Introduction to LGoetheLs Metaphysical BackgroundL)^@6.Philosophy of History (Introduction to LThe Unity of OppositesL)^@I.THE INTELLIGIBLE WORLD^@II.GOETHELS METAPHYSICAL BACKGROUND^@III.THE UNITY OF OPPOSITES^) |
