Question

James Heisig proposed “triangulating” one philosophy around three professors at this university. A philosopher at this university argued that nation-states embodied his “logic of the specific” before turning to a project of “absolute critique” that studies the limits of reason. Einstein’s 1922 visit to this university inspired one of its professors to analogize the relationship between matter and spacetime to that between all things and their encompassing topos. A philosopher from this university tried to “overcome (*) nihilism… through nihilism” in a book about religion and briefly studied at Freiburg with Heidegger. (10[1])In An Inquiry into the Good, a philosopher from this university theorized “absolute nothingness,” which is often compared (10[1])to the terms mu and śūnyatā (“shoon-yuh-TAH”). For 10 points, what university names a school that synthesized continental philosophy with Mahāyāna Buddhism, founded by Kitarō Nishida? ■END■ (10[1])
