Nishida Kitarō (1870–1945) is considered Japan's first and greatest modern philosopher. As founder of the Kyoto School, he began a rigorous philosophical engagement and dialogue with Western philosophical traditions, especially the work of G. W. F. Hegel. John W. M. Krummel explores the Buddhist roots of Nishida's thought and places him in connection with Hegel and other philosophers of the Continental tradition. Krummel develops notions of self-awareness, will, being, place, the environment, religion, and politics in Nishida's thought and shows how his ethics of humility may best serve us in our complex world.

Review
"The current volume constitutes an enormous contribution to Nishida scholarship, comparative philosophy, and postmodern visions of and for a global world. It provides inspiring scholarship on Nishida and, at the same time, invites subsequent creative reflections. In short, it constitutes philosophical reflection at its best."―Japanese Journal of Religious Studies

In short, it constitutes philosophical reflection at its best."―Journal of Japanese Studies
"One of a handful of genuinely significant studies of Nishida in the English language. It has perhaps the most thorough overview of the trajectory of the historical in Nishida's thinking while providing interesting and original philosophical engagements."―Jason M. Wirth, coeditor of Japanese and Continental Philosophy: Conversations with the Kyoto School
"John W. M. Krummel's analysis of Nishida's dialectic takes readers to the core of Nishida's epistemology and metaphyics. It is a central study."―Robert E. Carter, Trent University

I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan in a bilingual, bicultural family, to an American father and a Japanese mother. I attended the American School in Japan from Kindergarten to 12th grade. I received my BA with a major in Philosophy from Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana in 1988. I received my MA in Philosophy from the New School for Social Research, Graduate Faculty, NYC, NY in 1994 with a thesis on Heidegger and Foucault. I then received my Ph.D. in Philosophy from the New School for Social Research in 1999 with a dissertation on Heidegger's interpretation of Kant's notion of the imagination. I then received an additional Ph.D. in Religion from Temple University, Philadelphia, PA in 2008 with a dissertation on Nishida's dialectical philosophy in relation to Buddhism and Hegel. I am currently Associate Professor and Chair in the Dept. of Religious Studies at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva, NY; and Assistant Editor of Journal of Japanese Philosophy, SUNY Press; Associate Editor of the International Journal of Social Imaginaries, Brill; and Editor of the Social Imaginaries Book Series, RLI.
