"The Kyoto School's Takeover of Hegel: Nishida, Nishitani, and Tanabe Remake the Philosophy
of Spirit is Peter Suares's in-depth analysis of the Kyoto School's integration of
Western philosophical idealism with Japanese religious traditions. Suares traces the
Kyoto School's attempts to develop a doctrine of absolute nothingness using Hegel's
dialectic of self-consciousness. Hegel's dialectic plays a formative role in the work
of the three principal figures of the School-Nishida Kitaro, Nishitani Keiji, and
Tanabe Hajime-yet many of its aspects are difficult to integrate with their neo-Buddhist
outlook. Suares shows how this difficulty manifests itself in the ambivalence of the
three philosophers toward Hegel: they are not only his adherents but also his outspoken
critics. Their criticism itself is no less problematic. The ostensibly Hegelian ideas
denounced by Nishida, Nishitani, and Tanabe are often difficult to identify in his
philosophy. On the other hand, many of their own theses, which they advance in express
opposition to Hegel, are in fact quite compatible with his teachings. Given the pivotal
importance of Hegel to the Kyoto School, Suares demonstrates how these misreadings
signal a problem with the coherence of the School's broader worldview. The Kyoto School's
Takeover of Hegel suggests how this problem could have been mitigated, making the
School's philosophy of nothingness more effective than it is today."--pub. desc
