Beyond the subject/object dichotomy: topo-logic

Abstract

The chapter presents Nishida’s alternative view of reality, which is able to dispense with the subject/object dichotomy. As brief as possible overview of Nishida’s philosophical system or topo-logic, which is also his view of reality, is presented followed by a more focused discussion of the place of human beings as individuals in topo-logic to enable a better transition to the discussion of issues more closely connected to human rights in subsequent chapters.
