Nishitani raises critical questions about the nature of religion, asserting that it is fundamental to human existence as it addresses ultimate reality and meaning. He emphasizes that nihilism, stemming from a scientific worldview, poses a profound crisis for individuals, leading to a sense of meaninglessness and a loss of traditional values. In response to this crisis, Nishitani offers the Buddhist concept of &#8220;emptiness&#8221; or &#8220;absolute nothingness&#8221; as a pathway to transcend nihilism and find deeper meaning. This journey involves confronting personal nihility, where individuals face the inherent uncertainties of existence, such as death and loss. Nishitani&#8217;s work aims to bridge Eastern and Western thought, suggesting that both mystical Christianity and Buddhist teachings can illuminate the path to overcoming nihilism. <!--more-->His philosophical inquiries invite a reexamination of the dualistic perspectives that dominate modern thought, advocating for a transformative understanding of reality that transcends conventional subject-object distinctions. By doing so, Nishitani contributes to a broader dialogue on the relevance of religion in addressing existential concerns in contemporary society.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebsco.com\/research-starters\/literature-and-writing\/religion-and-nothingness-keiji-nishitani\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.ebsco.com\/research-starters\/literature-and-writing\/religion-and-nothingness-keiji-nishitani <\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full rounded-image\" src=\"https:\/\/five-sigma.com\/wp-headers\/east_vs_west.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>. \u5b97\u6559\u3068\u306f\u4f55\u304b Sh\u016bky\u014d to wa Nanika .
