This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher and head of the Japanese Kyoto school, Nishitani Keiji's book, The Self-Overcoming Of Nihilism
Specifically it examines his discussion in chapter 1 "Nihilism As Existence", of what he terms "European nihilism". Although nihilism remains in part a trans-cultural and trans-historical phenomenon, it arises in a complex and active way within the ongoing development of modern European culture. A nihilims that overcomes nihilism also arises out of that as well. None of this means that nihilism can be put off as a merely European problem, however, particularly for Japanese culture.
