This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.

This Core Concept video focuses on Nishitani Keiji's work The Self-Overcoming Of Nihilism, and specifically on chapter 9, "The Meaning of Nihilism for Japan". Nishitani claims that nihilism has become a significant cultural problem in post-World War II Japan, and that merely returning to a previously robust tradition undergirded by (Mahayana) Buddhism and Confucianism will not be by itself sufficient. Instead, that tradition has to be reappropriated and reinterpreted from the point of view of the present and the future in order for it to possess any genuine potentiality
