การลดทอนเชิงอภววิทยาในปรัชญาญี่ปุ่นสมัยใหม่ของนิชิดะ คิตะโร / Meontological Reduction in Modern Japanese Philosophy of Nishida Kitaro

Abstract

The aim of this research is to provide the philosophy of Nishida in the meontological view such that phenomenological approach is used as the tool for analyzing and interpreting the three main conceptions of Nishida’s philosophy, which are truly pure experience, logic of place, and absolute nothingness.  As a result, it is concluded that Nishida uses the attitude of reduction to suspend the particular from knowledge, feeling, and thought. Furthermore, he reduces the logical form of a linguistic expression to the logic of place in order to open the true consciousness to the universal by intentionality. In summary, it is found that the important philosophical method of Nishida is the method of meontological reduction.
