Keiji Nishitani was een Japanse filosoof van de Kyoto School wiens werk zich verdiepte in diepgaande filosofische vraagstukken. Zijn intellectuele focus lag op het inzicht van het individu in plaats van de hervorming van de sociale orde. Nishitani's benadering benadrukte individueel begrip en persoonlijke perspectief in zijn filosofische onderzoek.
Taking absolute nothingness as the fundamental notion in rational explanations of the Eastern experience of human life, this book examines the relevance of this notion for contemporary life, and in particular for Western philosophical theories and religious believes.
The work presents six insightful lectures by renowned Buddhist philosopher Keiji Nishitani, exploring the relevance and application of Buddhist principles in contemporary society. Nishitani delves into the intersection of Buddhism and modernity, addressing existential questions and offering a fresh perspective on spiritual practice. His reflections encourage readers to engage with Buddhist thought in a way that resonates with today's challenges and experiences.
