In the early part of the 20th century, three thinkers, Nishida Kataro, Tanabe Hajme and Nishitani Kaiji, founded the Kyoto School of Philosophy,

a group of scholars working at the intersection of Japanese and European thought. The Kyoto School, deeply influenced by the German tradition, wrote extensively on the works of Kant, Hegel and Heidegger,

exploring themes such as the limits of our reason and the nature of nothingness.

Tanabe, himself a student of Heidegger, explored such topics at length, building on the rich body of thought,

and as we shall see,

igniting his own philosophy. In this episode, we'll be investigating the profound insights

of Tanabe's philosophy with two of the world's leading Tanabe scholars, Associate Professor

of Philosophy at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Gregory S. Moss, and lecturer in non-Western

philosophy at the University of Edinburgh,

Takeshi Morisato. As we explored Tanabe's work, we'll see Japan's Kyoto's

schools, unique philosophical paths, and the many questions they illuminate along the way.

We'll uncover the invaluable insights of their work, and the legacy they left behind.

Hello and welcome to episode 130 of the Panpsychast, self-transcending.

I'm beyond the limits of Jack Symes, and I'm delighted to be joined once again by the man living in contradiction.

It's Mr. Olly Marley.

Hello.

Criticising critiques.

Its associate professor Gregory S. Moss.

Hello.

And last but not least, hunting down those who lacked any dialectical thinking as if they were committing crimes.

It's University of Edinburgh's Takeshi Marisato.

Thank you so much for the great introduction. Hi.
