The Nishida Philosophy

Nishida Philosophy, developed by Japanese thinker Kitaro Nishida, centers on understanding reality through the concept of "pure experience," which is a seamless unity of subject and object before distinctions are made. He believed that consciousness and the world are interconnected, and reality is understood as an ongoing process of becoming. Nishida emphasized the importance of self-awareness, intuition, and the dynamic relationship between the individual and the universe, encouraging a view of existence as a harmonious flow rather than isolated entities. His ideas aim to bridge Eastern and Western philosophies by exploring the fundamental nature of reality and consciousness.
