Chapter 129 Kyoto School

Kyoto is an ancient capital.The ancient capital has its own charm of the ancient capital.In Kyoto, there are ancient greenery and long-flowing clear water, the old plum that occasionally leans out from the edge of the Sangoin Temple, and the philosophical path that Nishida Kitaro walks out of is densely shaded, and the dark and nostalgic temple gate and the quiet Hearing a few clogs in the deep alley always makes people forget the time but remember the history.Kyoto always makes people feel that "I don't know Han, no matter Wei and Jin". Joy, the benefit of speaking." Such an elegant place, of course, is a treasured geomantic place for learning.

Today's Kyoto University is known as "the cradle of scientists".For the people of Kyoto University, what makes them particularly proud is that in the 39 years from 1949 to 1987, 4 of the 7 Japanese Nobel Prize winners were from Kyoto University: Hideki Yukawa, Shinichiro Tomonaga, Kenichi Fukui and Susumu Tonegawa. The reputation of the "Kyoto School" became the focus of world attention after the war. In fact, the so-called "Kyoto School" was first initiated by the famous philosopher Nishida Jitaro of the Faculty of Letters of Kyoto University and his disciples Tanabe Moto and Miki Kiyoshi. Later, the Japanese academic circles used this term to refer to a group of wise people who "don't ask about reality, but only seek knowledge" shaped by Kyoto University.It is their "interest" and "persistence" that enable Kyoto University to gain a foothold among many universities in the world as a school.

Tanabe Moto was a philosopher who taught at Kyoto University at the same time as Nishida Jitaro. He was deeply influenced by Nishida's philosophy in his early days, so he had many similar views with Nishida.They spare no effort to interpret modern Western philosophy in light of their own upbringing in Eastern traditional philosophy.At the philosophical forum of Kyoto University at that time, thinkers with different tendencies launched their own independent thinking and heated debates around issues such as history and existence, society and individuals. All of a sudden, Kyoto was active in thinking, and the east and the west could communicate, which formed the "Kyoto School" in the history of Japanese academics.

With the evolution of history, Kyoto University has gradually developed into a comprehensive university with many disciplines. The connotation of "Kyoto School" is not limited to the ideological forum of philosophy, but the spirit of "Kyoto School" still embodies the uniqueness of thinkers. His persistence is still talked about by people. People once described the Kyoto School in this way: Scholars and professors at Kyoto University are very obsessed with theoretical research. Even in the eyes of ordinary people, professors at Kyoto University will still be very interested in it. As long as it is academically reasonable, they will do it without hesitation. .It is their interest and persistence that made Kyoto University form the famous "Kyoto School".
