Abstract
The article intends to demonstrate the current relevance and importance of the Japanese philosopher KeijiNishitani’s thought through its categorization in the history of philosophy alongside the fact that it is located in the Kyoto school. Furthermore, the thematic links between Nishitani and some Western philosophers, mainly Martin Heidegger, are postulated. Likewise, two central concepts of the vast literary world of the autor in question are boarded: on one hand, the idea of the self and its involvement with the not-self; on the other hand, the notion of emptiness and essence is profoundly analyzed, emphasizing the importance and sense of the point of view of vacuity.
