Focusing on their contributions to thinking about place, space, and dialectics, this concise introduction brings these influential thinkers to life by connecting their work to issues still debated in the philosophy of science and physics today.   Beginning with an overview of the reception of quantum physics and relativity theory in Japan and concluding with an account of the direct relevance of the Kyoto School to the development of world philosophy in a posthuman age, each clearly-written chapter engages historical contexts and includes:  Carefully-chosen excerpts and original translations of Nishida, Tanabe, and Tosaka  Focus boxes explaining complex concepts and problems of contextualization  A timeline, glossary and index  Furthe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis primer on the thought of Nishida Kitaro, Tanabe Hajime, and Tosaka Jun deconstructs the conventional divide between a scientifically minded West and a religiously inspired East. Approaching the philosophy of modern physics through the lens of the Kyoto School, Dean Brink's work breaks new ground in the history of ideas and champions the rights of cross-cultural \"scientific humanism\". * Rossella Lupacchini, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy and Communication Studies, University of Bologna, Italy *\u003cbr\u003eThis exciting book illuminates an often overlooked facet that reflects the depth and  the scope of three thinkers who helped create world philosophy. Brink’s exposition and translations show how the philosophies of  Nishida, Tanabe, and Tosaka decenter Western-tinted philosophy of science, expose assumptions about basic concepts like space and matter, and envision much needed alternatives for understanding agency in the world today. * John Maraldo, Professor of philosophy, Emeritus, University of North Florida, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.
