A STUDY OF THE "NOTHING" OF THE MODERN JAPANESE PHILOSOPHY, FROM THE VIEW POINT OF THE HERMENEUTICAL ONTOLOGY

本研究之目的在于阐明“无”概念之实相。这一概念在西方传统哲学中没有任何真正的实体，相反，它在日本现代哲学中，特别是在西田哲学中具有独特的实体。这两者之间的差距可以通过解释学本体论来克服。解释学本体论是由海德格尔和h.g.发展起来的一种哲学方法。伽达默尔和我自己加深的。我认为虚无的概念可以在人类现实生活中通过视界与有效历史的融合过程来实现，这是解释学本体论的关键概念。本研究阐明了西田的绝对无的概念也可以通过同样的过程来实现。从长远来看，我们可以看到，日本的“无”概念并不是与西方对立的概念，它具有人类生活的普遍现实性。

The Aim of this study is elucidate the reality of the concept of nothing. This concept doesn't have any real entity in the tradition of the western philosophy, On the contrary it has a peculiar entity in the modern Japaneses philosophy, especislly in Nishida's. The gap between these can be overcome by the hermeneutical ontology, This is a philosophcal method which is developed by M.ileidegger and H.-G.Gadamer and which is deepened by myself. I have thought that the concept of nothing can be realized through the process of the fusion of horizons and the effective history in the real human life, This is the key concept of the hermeneutical ontology. This study elucidated that Nishida's concept of the absolute nothing can also be realized by the same process. In the long run we can see in this study that the Japanese concept of nothing is not the counter concept against the western and that it has the universal reality of the human life.
