Abstract:

kitaro

Nishida, Kitarō (1870-1945) is a twentieth-century Japanese philosopher. Influenced by Fichte and Hegel, Nishida’s philosophical work is often compared with Lebensphilosophie [philosophy of life], the intellectual trend that came on the scene around the turn of the 20th century. In this reading workshop, we will read and discuss the first few sections of “Logic and Life” (1936), in which Nishida talks about the origin of logic based on his non-dualism.
