Abstract
Except for occasional quotations from the posthumously published text of the Fragments concerning Pure Experience, this series of reflections which continued for about eight years has been overlooked by most commentators and interpreters of Nishida philosophy. One of the main difficulties in the study of the Fragments is the articulation of the many-sided views Nishida takes into consideration. This is a task that should be undertaken by researchers of Nishida philosophy in the future. In this paper I present the results reached after several attempts at finding one of the several possible ways of presenting a coherent view of the contents of the Fragments. From this overview of the contents, we can see that Nishida entered into great detail in his reflection on pure experience, and we can perceive that there were other ways, alternative to the Zen no kenkyû, in which Nishida could have worked out his interpretation of pure experience.
