"Carter's work fills an important niche in Nishida scholarship by
providing, in clear and concise language, the best introduction to
Nishida's philosophy... Japansese scholar Thomas P. Kasulis has
written a superlative ten-page forward that is worth the price of
admission all by itself...an extensive bibliography and
index...well organized. I anticipate that Carter's book will become
a popular university textbook chosen by teachers of Japanese
philosophy and the Philosophy of Religion. Indeed, I would
recommend that scholars who are looking to include a "comparative"
element...seriously consider choosing Nishida's philosophy, and
Carter's text in particular."--David Edward Shaner, Furman
University
"I want to express my feeling of admiration for the work. I think
it will be very helpful as an introduction to the West of Nishida's
philosophy and, thus as a gateway to East-West dialogue." --Jan Van
Bragt, Nazan Institute for Religion and Culture
"This work will serve as a valuable reference both for those
seeking a grounding in a significant contribution to human thought
in the 20th century and for those wishing to situate some key
themes which repeatedly appear in East-Western Buddhist-Christian
dialogue."--Ruben L. F. Habito, Perkins School of Theology,
Southern Methodist University
"Those who reflect about philosophy and religion should like what
Robert E. Carter has done in this book. He has engaged with perhaps
the most important of modern Japanese philosophers...It is what
cross-cultural philosophy should be."--Ninian Smart
