Zen and Philosophy
An Intellectual Biography of Nishida Kitarō
By Michiko Yusa
University of Hawaii Press
This is the definitive work on the first and greatest of Japan’s twentieth-century philosophers, Nishida Kitaro (1870-1945). Interspersed throughout the narrative of Nishida’s life and thought is a generous selection of the philosopher’s own essays, letters, and short presentations, newly translated into English.
