Westport (Connecticut) and London: Greenwood Publishing Group (Resources in Asian Philosophy and Religion). 1998. xx, 420 pp. US$95.00, cloth. ISBN 0-313-27433-9. THIS BOOK offers scholars and students of Japanese thought and culture an exceptionally valuable anthology of highly significant writings by the major representatives of the "Kyoto School" of philosophy. The volume, compiled by several of the leading translator-interpreters in the field of modern Japanese philosophy, David Dilworth, Valdo Viglielmo and Jacinto Zavala, opens with an account of Nishida Kitaro's (1829-97) philosophy of nothingness, then proceeds to examine the ideas of other thinkers associated with and/or reacting to the Kyoto school, such as Tanabe Hajime (18851962), Kuki Shuzo (1888-1943), Watsuji Tetsuro (1889-1960), Miki Kiyoshi (1897-1945), Tosaka Jun (1900-45) and Nishitani Keiji (1900-1).
