場所:京都大学 京都大学文学部校舎・1階会議室 (地図8番の建物 https://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/access/main-campus-map.html)

講演者:Rein Raud氏 エストニア・タリン大学教授、日本文学研究家、作家

題目:The Genesis of the Dynamic Particular: Dogen and Nishida on Selfhood and Reality

アブストラクト:One of the central problems in Dōgen’s as well as Nishida’s thought is how an individual relates to the totality of the surrounding reality, and both of them refuse to reduce such an individual to a static, continuous and essentialistically describable entity. The similarities do not end there. The lecture analyzes concrete examples taken from the work of both thinkers to show how they share crucial insights, while differing in the interpretation they give to these.

Title: The Genesis of the Dynamic Particular: Dogen and Nishida on Selfhood and Reality

Abstract: One of the central problems in Dōgen’s as well as Nishida’s thought is how an individual relates to the totality of the surrounding reality, and both of them refuse to reduce such an individual to a static, continuous and essentialistically describable entity. The similarities do not end there. The lecture analyzes concrete examples taken from the work of both thinkers to show how they share crucial insights, while differing in the interpretation they give to these.
