This book provides a much-needed introduction to the Kyoto School of
Japanese philosophy. 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. (amazon)
