Robert E. Carter focuses on four influential Japanese philosophers: the three most important members of the Kyoto School (Nishida Kitaro, Tanabe Hajime, and Nishitani Keiji), and a fourth (Watsuji Tetsuro), who was, at most, an associate member of the school. Each of these thinkers wrestled systematically with the Eastern idea of \"nothingness,\" albeit from very different perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany Western scholars, students, and serious general readers are intrigued by this school of thought, which reflects Japan''s engagement with the West. A number of works by various thinkers associated with the Kyoto School are now available in English, but these works are often difficult to grasp for those not already well-versed in the philosophical and historical context. Carter''s book provides an accessible yet substantive introduction to the school and offers an East-West dialogue that enriches our understanding of Japanese thought while also shedding light on our own assumptions, habits of thought, and prejudices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58265413091710,"sku":"NW9781438445427","price":30.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781438445427.jpg?v=1792481903","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/the-kyoto-school-an-introduction","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
