Books by David A. Dilworth

Providing translations of and commentaries on primary source materials of modern Japanese philosophy, this sourcebook centers on the creative philosophical writings of the Kyoto School broadly conceived, featuring the thought of Nishida Kitaro, Tanabe Hajime, Kuki Shuzo, Watsuji Tetsuro, Miki Kiyoshi, Tosaka Jun, and Nishitani Keiji.

This places the major texts of Western and Oriental philosophy and religion, both ancient and modern, onto one comparative framework. The study reveals affinities between thinkers who lived centuries and continents apart and produces insights by putting philosophical texts into a single purview.
