Abstract "Nishida Kitaro is widely considered as the first original philosopher in modern Japan. Addressing this claim, Richard Stone critically examines Nishida's relation to his contemporary philosophers in the Meiji era (1868-1912), highlighting the continuity, difference and relationships between them. He argues that ideas starting from early Meiji philosophers were gradually given more rigorous treatment over the course of the era, eventually culminating in Nishida's early philosophy.The Origins of Modern Japanese Philosophy offers an engaging insight into the Meiji period, bringing Nishida's work it into dialogue with his predecessors"-- Provided by publisher.
General noteBased on the author's thesis (doctoral)--Hokkaido University, 2021, under the title: How original is Nishida Kitarō's philosophy in An inquiry into the good? : a critical investigation of Japan's 'first' philosophy.
