{"product_id":"the-kyoto-school-an-introduction","title":"The Kyoto School: An Introduction","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn accessible discussion of the thought of key figures of the Kyoto School of Japanese philosophy.  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 Kitar  Tanabe Hajime  and Nishitani Keiji)  and a fourth (Watsuji Tetsur)  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.  Many Western scholars  students  and serious general readers are intrigued by this school of thought  which reflects Japans engagement with the West. A number of works by various thinkers associated with the Kyoto School are now available in English  but these works are often difficult to grasp for those not already well-versed in the philosophical and historical context. Carters book provides an accessible yet substantive introduction to the school and offers an East-West dialogue that enriches our understanding of Japanese thought while also shedding light on our own assumptions  habits of thought  and prejudices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946463621173,"sku":"ByrdShop_1438445423","price":62.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781438445427_9ec474d0-0387-43a4-bebd-3093bac8d137.jpg?v=1770203678","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-kyoto-school-an-introduction","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
