Nishida Kitaró: A jó kutatása című írásának első japán előszava
The first Japanese preface to Nishida Kitaro: Researching the Good

Summary/Abstract: In the first Japanese preface to Nishida Kitaró: Researching the Goodin 1911, Nishida Kitaro published An Inquiry into the Good, a key text in independent, Western-style Japanese philosophy. The author is the central figure in the philosophical workshop of the later Kyoto School, the founder of the trend that still operates today. Starting from the concept of pure experience in the Western sense, the text presents Japanese readers with the results of Western philosophy and psychology without moving away from the foundations of Japanese cultural tradition. The preface to the first edition illuminates the author’s thinking in many ways, highlighting the hidden threads between the spoken and the unspoken. It is such a typically Nishidian work that it deserves its own presentation and translation.
