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 (15[1])relationship between matter and spacetime to that between all things and their encompassing topos. A philosopher from this university tried to “overcome (*) nihilism… (10[1])through nihilism” in a book about religion (10[1])and briefly studied at Freiburg with Heidegger. (10[2])In An Inquiry into the Good, a philosopher from this university theorized “absolute nothingness,” (10[1])which is often compared 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■
