Description: A 1984 review by Steven Heine of this collection, from the Journal Philosophy East and West. Notes the limitations of and questions raised by this book, the first English-language book on the Kyoto School.
The Buddha Eye:An Anthology of the Kyoto School, edit by Frederick Franck The Buddha Eye, one of a new series of works on contemporary Japanese thought, the   Nazan Studies in Religion and Culture, is an important and interesting collection, although some qualifications must be noted concerning its title. The term "Kyoto School," used here for the first time in the title of an English language book, generally refers to the philosophical writings of Nishida Kitaroo (Nishida tetsugaku), which seek a logical exposition of the "place" (basho) of "pure experience" (junsui keiken) as the unified ground of reality. "Kyoto School" also includes the influence of Nishida's thought on noted disciples such as Tanabe Hajime, and associates such as Watsuji Tetsuroo and Suzuki Daisetz, who were based in Kyoto University and nearby institutions. Finally, it covers the "second-generation" followers who have applied Nishida's metaphysical standpoint to various areas including ethics, aesthetics, logic, social theory, and the philosophies of religion, history, and science.
