Abstract
Tanabe Hajime established the logic of species as his own philosophical conception, sharply distinguished from the logic of nothing [無の論理] of his mentor, Nishida Kitarō, through which his thinking had passed. Having encountered Marxism’s historical materialism, which at the time was enjoying great popularity, he brought the practical dynamism he had learned from it to the logic of nothing.
Translated from the Japanese by Robert Chapeskie and revised by John W. M. Krummel.
