Keiji Nishitani: religió i nihilisme. El final de la metafísica a la llum de l'Escola de Kyoto

Abstract

This article sets out to describe the approach adopted by Keiji Nishitani, one of the most representative members of the Kyoto School, to the problem of the end of me- taphysics and nihilism. Since it is no longer considered to be an exclusively Western phenomenon, Nishitani proposes establishing a dialoge between the cultures rooted in the Christian and Buddhist traditions. He focuses his attention on the notion of nothing- ness, not in the sense of the negation of being, but in the religious realisation of being as nothing.
