This paper summarizes the essence of “Creation” in the philosophy of NISHIDA. The first part of the paper specifies the characteristics of the theory of “Creation” by NISHIDA. He emphasized the notion of “Negation” in “Creation.” This idea provides room for Creation in every case. The second part of this paper locates uniqueness of “Creation”. NISHIDA indicates that it is the “now” and the “reality” that are “Creative.”History is creative because it is always the one and only now. History is the self-determination of the eternal now. NISHIDA warns one against being unaware of persistence in an object, which is only an opportunity for self-determination, or else “Creativity” is lost. However, lost creativity is also an opportunity for new creativity, according to the logic of place. The third part of this paper investigates concrete ways. We can understand NISHIDA’s creative terms, “Action–Intuition,” “Historical- Body,” “Self-Awareness,” and “The Identity of the Contradictory,” as methods of actual “Creation”. These methods embody “Creation” at the juncture of contrary direction. “Representation” and “Reflection” of the world radiate individual creative perspectives in the contrary direction. Thus the “Creation” in NISHIDA can be also our “Creation”, because it is universal, unique and concrete.
