The Logic of Nothingness : A Study of Nishida Kitaro

In The Logic of Nothingness, Robert Wargo argues that the overriding concern of Nishida´s mature philosophy, the attempt to give a reasonable account of reality that includes the reasonableness of that account itself has its origins un inoe Enryo´s and Inoue Tetsujiro´s preoccupation with "the problem of standpoints". A translation of one of Nishida´s most demanding texts, included here as an appendix, demonstrates the value of Wargo´s insightful analysis of the logic of basho (place) as an aid to deciphering the philosopher´s early work.
