西田哲学と A. N. ホワイトヘッド哲学の場所論 ―逆対応と可逆性

抄録

Nishida’s and Whitehead’s philosophies are the non-substantial philosophies that have their basis in the “process of generation” based on relativity and quantum theory since the beginning of the 20 the century. It is a philosophy that understands that “reality” exists in the process of becoming in a “field” (chora) opened at the “bottom of nothingness” (= the infinite opening of the absolute), rather than a philosophy that has been based on substantive notions such as “idea”, “ousia” or “eidos” since ancient Greek philosophy. Then, I would like to inquire into the problem of the field in both philosophers. The problem is, how the logic of the contradictory identity between God and each individual in K. Nishida’s philosophy and the convertibility in the process of becoming concerning six characteristics between God and world in A. N. Whitehead’s philosophy are possible in the field of groundless ground as the absolute infinite openness through the ways of understanding the problems of field, God, reality and nature in both philosophers.
