Nishida Philosophy
Nishida Philosophy, developed by Kitarō Nishida, is a unique blend of Eastern and Western thought. It emphasizes the importance of direct experience and intuition in understanding reality. Nishida proposed that true knowledge arises from a deep engagement with the world, rather than through abstract reasoning alone.
Central to his philosophy is the concept of the "place" or "basho," which refers to the context in which experiences occur. This idea highlights the interconnectedness of all things and suggests that understanding comes from recognizing the relationships between individuals and their environments. Nishida's work has influenced various fields, including Japanese philosophy and Zen Buddhism.
