物は衝動する

西田幾多郎 『無の自覚的限定』における身体に関する転回をめぐって

抄録

The main purpose of this article is to clarify the relation of “body(身体)” and “impulsion(衝動)” in Nishida Kitarō’s middle work “Determinations as Self-awareness of Nothingness”(1932). The reason is that many researches about Nishida’s body theory have only focused on the concept of the “historical body” discussed in Nishida’s later philosophy. However, concerning the body theory of Nishida, the connection from his middle philosophy to the later one still remains unknown to this research. In this condition, this article is going to attempt to establish a way to create his later act and body theory with his middle philosophy. Especially, the focus point of this article is the relationship between the body and the materiality in “Determinations and Self-awareness of Nothingness”. Nishida shows us that the personal experience is induced by the act of the materiality of the body and an impulsion from “Absolute Nothingness(絶対無)” in this work and this point is different from his earlier writings. This article is going to reveal what could emerge from this change of focus and how this discussion could be related to his later philosophy.
