Nishida Kitarō
Philosophers
Born 19 May 1970 in Unoke, Ishikawa Prefecture, Nishida Kitarō was the founder of a philosophical movement later known as the Kyoto School. His thinking covered a wide range of philosophical topics. His most well-known concepts, such as the “place of absolute nothingness” or “absolutely contradictory self-identity,” spanned the boundries between classical Western philosophy and traditional Eastern thought, particularly Buddhist and Taoist. He died 7 June 1945 in Kamakura.
