La 4e de couv. indique : "Comment saisir l'iki? Tout l'ouvrage de Kuki Shûzô tourne autour de cette notion et de cette difficulté, qui lui permettent d'éclairer en profondeur la culture japonaise. Dès le XVIIIe siècle, mais surtout à la fin de l'époque d'Edo (1615-1868), la notion d'iki prend un sens tout à la fois esthétique et moral très particulier, lié à la vie urbaine et aux quartiers de plaisirs. Les geisha méprisent l'argent, se moquent des habitudes rustiques des " provinciaux ", font montre de hardiesse, de charme et de capacité au renoncement ... Comme le montre l'auteur, c'est donc en marge des règles et des conventions confucéennes, dans le monde à part des courtisanes, où la réalité la plus crue côtoie le plus grand raffinement, qu'il faut aller chercher la vérité si élusive de l'esprit iki - attitude face à la vie fondamentalement liée aux relations hommes-femmes et teintée par deux dominantes de la pensée japonaise : le bouddhisme et l'éthique du Samouraï."

In Religion and Nothingness the leading representative of the Kyoto School of Philosophy lays the foundation of thought for a world in the making, for a world united beyond the differences of East and West. Keiji Nishitani notes the irreversible trend of Western civilization to nihilism, and singles out the conquest of nihilism as the task for contemporary philosophy. Nihility, or relative nothingness, can only be overcome by being radicalized to Emptiness, or absolute nothingness. Taking absolute nothingness as the fundamental notion in rational explanations of the Eastern experience of human life, Professor Nishitani examines the relevance of this notion for contemporary life, and in particular for Western philosophical theories and religious believes. Everywhere his basic intention remains the same: to direct our modern predicament to a resolution through this insight. The challenge that the thought of Keiji Nishitani presents to the West, as a modern version of an Eastern speculative tradition that is every bit as old and as variegated as our own, is one that brings into unity the principle of reality and the principle of salvation. In the process, one traditional Western idea after another comes under scrutiny: the dichotomy of faith and reason, of being and substance, the personal and transcendent notions of God, the exaggerated role given to the knowing ego, and even the Judeo-Christian view of history itself. Religion and Nothingness represents the major work of one of Japan's most powerful and committed philosophical minds.

Much Ado About Nothingness brings together 14 essays on Nishida Kitaro and Tanabe Hajime by one of the leading scholars of twentieth-century Japanese philosophy. With Nishida's "logic of place" and Tanabe's "logic of the specific" providing a continuity to the whole, the author writes from a conviction that"the overriding challenge for those doing philosophy in the key of the Kyoto School, with their sights set squarely on self-awareness like Nishida and Tanabe before them, is to turn its attention to the wider world and sharpen its conscience without simply giving in to the growing pressures to police the awareness of others."
