Tanabe Hajime’s Logic of Species and the Philosophy of Nishida Kitarô

Summary/Abstract: This article shall focus especially on Tanabe Hajime (1885-1962)’s “logic of species” (shu no ronri) and Nishida Kitarô’ s (1870-1945) response to it. First, I will briefly describe the problems posed by Tanabe’s “logic of species,” based on his two articles: “The Logic of Social Existence” (1934-35) and “The Logic of Species and the World Schema” (1935). In particular I will discuss Tanabe’s implicit and explicit critique of Nishida in these articles. Second, I will consider Nishida’s objections to the logic of species as articulated in his Philosophical Essays II (1937). Third, I will show that, despite both Tanabe’s frequent and unequivocal criticism of Nishida’s philosophy and Nishida’s seemingly irreconcilable objections to Tanabe’s “logic of species,” there in fact exists a common basis which underlies both their philosophies.
