Zen, Erfahrung und Philosophie: Ueda Shizuteru und die Schöpfung einer Zen-Philosophie
The philosophers of the so-called Kyoto school famously synthesized Zen Buddhist thought and the academic philosophy of 19th and early 20th century Europe in their work.

Alterity and Nothingness: An Exploration of Nishida's I and Thou
In recent years the question has been raised whether the notions of alterity and intersubjectivity are of any relevance to the religiophilosophical tradition of Zen Buddhism.This question is of great importance because it not only bears significant ethical implications but also concerns the more far-reaching issue of whether, as Nishida Kitaro argues, a Zen philosophy can function as the conceptual basis for a political and social philosophy or w…
