NISHIDA's philosophy is said to be a “philosophy of nothingness”, a philosophy that attempts to logicalize nothingness beyond logic. When he was young, he continued to explore the idea of nothingness in his meditations, and the idea of “the place of nothingness” appears in his later essay “Basho(place)” . The nothingness mentioned here is not mere emptiness. It is an absolute nothingness with infinite functions that contains all existence and consciousness.
