This work is a presentation of the philosophy of Nishida Kitaro (1870-1970) according to the notion of unification (toitsusuru). What does to unify mean: is it reaching a final unity or endlessly pursuing unity? Is not such a pursuit of unity pure nothingness? Does not this very fear come from the fact that man cannot face the infinity that stands behind being itself? But then what kind of place could correspond to such a beyond? Is finiteness the limit of the self, is the notion of being the only key to the story of reality? Might an absolute nothingness still have something to do with being? We follow Nishidas answers through three explorations of his major works, emphasizing his intellectual relation to Western philosophy as well as the study of the annotations he left in his books.

L'auto-éveil (Jikaku), thème majeur de la philosophie de NISHIDA Kitarô (1870-1945), représente l'un des moyens permettant de repenser sur de nouvelles bases le problème de la subjectivité moderne. Il est examiné ici en lien avec les présupposés de la philosophie de la relation de Nishida, de même qu'avec la relation je-tu, dont il apparaît comme le point culminant. La seconde partie du livre montre quelle configuration prit l'auto-éveil au terme de la carrière philosophique de Nishida et en quel sens elle constitue la réponse qu'il entendit fournir à la recherche d'un soi plus vaste ou plus englobant que celui de la subjectivité moderne. Ces analyses ont donné lieu à un travail de philosophie comparée qui met Nishida en relation avec quelques représentants majeurs de la tradition philosophique, dont les plus importants sont Watsuji, Buber, Descartes et Augustin.

The development of phenomenological philosophy in Japan is a well-established tradition that reaches back to the early 20th-century. The past decades have witnessed significant contributions and advances in different areas of phenomenological thought in Japan that remain unknown, or only partially known, to an international philosophical public. This volume offers a selection of original phenomenological research in Japan to an international audience in the form of an English language publication. The contributions in this volume range over classical figures in the phenomenological movement (Husserl, Heidegger, Levinas, Merleau-Monty), recent trends in French phenomenology, and contemporary inter-disciplinary approaches. In addition to this diverse engagement with European thinkers, many of the contributions in this volume establish critical and complimentary discussions with 20th-century Japanese philosophers.
