The book presents the first collection of essays on the philosophy of Ueda Shizuteru in a Western language, covering topics such as mysticism, self-awareness, nature, poetic language, language and nothingness, and the timeliness of a thinking that mediates and transcends the East-West dichotomy. Contributions from scholars from Japan, Europe, and the U.S. make it an ideal introduction to Zen philosophy and scholarship on language and experience.

This book presents the first comprehensive collection of essays on the philosophy of Ueda Shizuteru in a Western language. Ueda, the last living member of the Kyoto school, has fostered the East-West dialogue in all his works and has helped to open up the Western image of philosophy by engaging the Zen tradition. The book reflects this particular trait of Ueda's philosophy, but it also covers all thematic fields of his writings.

Contributions from both young and established scholars and experts from Japan, Europe, and the U.S. make this a unique introduction to and reception of Ueda's philosophy. Readers will discover discussions of mysticism in the East and West, and consideration of modern philosophy topics including self-awareness, nature, and poetic language. The book also presents a focused look at language and nothingness, considering silence and nihilism. Chapters allow the reader to understand the timeliness of a thinking that mediates and transcends the dichotomy of East and West.

This volume will appeal not only to scholars of Nishida, Japanese philosophy, mysticism, and religious experience in Japan, but also to scholars of Western philosophy, especially those interested in Meister Eckhart, Martin Heidegger, and Martin Buber. It makes an ideal introduction to Zen philosophy and presents important contributions to scholarship on language and experience.
