This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher and head of the Japanese Kyoto school, Nishitani Keiji's book, The Self-Overcoming Of Nihilism Specifically it examines the Appendix to the work, titled "The Problem of Atheism". He analyses two main philosophical atheistic approaches to religion, that of Marxist humanism and that of Sartrean existentialism, and points out inadequacies to both of these positions, particularly when examined in relation to Mahayana Buddhism. Nishitani also suggests that a reappropriated and reinterpreted Buddhism can offer a position that engages with nihilism but also goes beyond it in manners that also go beyond Western self-overcomings of nihilism To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler or Buy Me A Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/a4quydwom If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase The Self-Overcoming Of Nihilism - https://amzn.to/3wgyCqz
