Reviews
This primer on the thought of Nishida Kitaro, Tanabe Hajime, and Tosaka Jun deconstructs the conventional divide between a scientifically minded West and a religiously inspired East. Approaching the philosophy of modern physics through the lens of the Kyoto School, Dean Brink's work breaks new ground in the history of ideas and champions the rights of cross-cultural scientific humanism . * Rossella Lupacchini, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy and Communication Studies, University of Bologna, Italy * This exciting book illuminates an often overlooked facet that reflects the depth and the scope of three thinkers who helped create world philosophy. Brink's exposition and translations show how the philosophies of Nishida, Tanabe, and Tosaka decenter Western-tinted philosophy of science, expose assumptions about basic concepts like space and matter, and envision much needed alternatives for understanding agency in the world today. * John Maraldo, Professor of philosophy, Emeritus, University of North Florida, USA *
