Nishida Kitaro on experience
Nishida Kitaro (1870–1945) approaches experience within Kyoto School. Early Nishida treats pure experience as immediate knowing prior to subject–object split, and the good as realization of personality. Mature Nishida relocates reality in the self-determining place of absolute nothingness: individuals arise as determinations of that place.
