Am I authentic? The search for authenticity in Nishitani Keiji
Keywords:
transontology, Japanese Philosophy, vacuityAbstract
This article investigates the problem of authenticity according to Nishitani Keiji (1900-1990). The idea of authenticity relates to the concept of the true self, an identity that is divergent and identifiable from a false way of being. In the European philosophical tradition, the idea of authenticity seems to depend on an essentialist structure. However, the alternative proposition of Nishitani inspired by the Buddhist tradition aims to overcome the limits of metaphysics while reconsidering the basis of reality and the relationship of interdependence established between the elements of reality.
