Nishida Kitaro

(c) Chisokudo Publications 2016
Nishida Kitaro is a translation of essays Nishitani wrote about his teacher between 1936 and 1968. This series of meditations by one master on another provides a remarkable, living portrait of Nishida the person and conveys the excitement he aroused in his students. Focusing on Nishida's maiden work, An Inquiry into the Good, Nishitani penetrates to the core of his thought and presents it in language that is a marvel of clarity. The collection's concluding section, which deals with Nishida's critics, stands out for its lucidity and fairness.
