Kyoto School

The Kyoto School is a group of Japanese philosophers and thinkers developed in the early to mid-20th century, focusing on the integration of Eastern and Western philosophical ideas. Key figures include Nishida Kitarō and Tanabe Hajime. They explored concepts such as the nature of reality, self-awareness, and the relationship between individuals and society, often drawing from Zen Buddhism and Western philosophy like existentialism and phenomenology. Their work emphasizes the importance of personal experience and the interconnectedness of all things, aiming to address modern existential and societal challenges through a unique philosophical lens.
