An Inquiry into the Good

Nishida Kitarō · 1911 · translated by Valentin Sarić

What makes an action good, and what is the self that acts?

Nishida Kitarō’s complete inquiry moves from pure experience through reality and ethics to religious life, bringing European philosophy into conversation with Buddhist thought.

The supplied later prefaces and concluding essay Knowledge and Love are included, with concise notes on terms and textual details. AI-assisted translation, prepared and edited by Valentin Sarić.
