The Absolute Openness as the Groundless Ground of All Nature

Abstract

In this Book, I enquired into the origin of religions, and the origin of religions and sciences. Such origin can we find in the philosophy of Kyoto school including Kitaro Nishida, Hajime Tanabe and Keiji Nishitani and Alfred North Whitehead. K. Nishida, who advocated the philosophy of the field of the absolute nothingness and later became the founder of the philosophy of the Kyoto school, advocated the paradigm of “absolute nothingness” (=Budhistic emptiness, or my term “absolute in -finite nothingness”) that subsumes not only all kinds of thinking, but also all nature including four other paradigms (=relative being, absolute being, relataive nothingness and nihil).
