Abstract
In the 20th Century, Nihilism has been deemed a problem to Japanese culture. Nishitani Keiji claimed that, while being a Western bearing, Nihilism is to be overcome by Japanese Buddhist heritage. This talk calls into question whether “location” “geography” and even “culture” are suitable notions with which to understand Nihilism and its impact. I will briefly track the history of Nihilism and analyze the possibility of overcoming it.File in questo prodotto:
