The Kyoto School
by Robert E. Carter  
Foreword by Thomas P. Kasulis  
SUNY Press, 2013

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 Kitarō, Tanabe Hajime, and Nishitani Keiji), and a fourth (Watsuji Tetsurō), 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.

Robert E. Carter is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Trent University in Canada. His many books include   The Japanese Arts and Self-Cultivation   and   Encounter with Enlightenment: A Study of Japanese Ethics,   both also published by SUNY Press.
