“Philosophy centered on nothingness. The Kioto school, Heidegger and other nihilistic philosophies”. Prajñā Vihāra. Revista de filosofía y religión [Tailandia], vol. 17, núm. 2, 2016, pp. 39-58. ISSN: 1513-6442.

In this study, the existing link between Heidegger’s philosophy and the main representatives of Kyoto’s school will be demonstrated. For it, a brief synthesis of Nishida and Tanabe’s philosophy will be presented; in their conceptions about Nothingness, whether as something absolute or dynamic that allows the movement of everything else, a first matrix can be observed of what for Heidegger represents nothingness: the source of all philosophical approaches; a something which, upon being, ceases to be or loses its being. The article ends with the reference to three consequences of this contemporary nihilistic approach: the one which sustains the need for a return to faith in order to avoid the abysm of nothingness, proposed in Unamuno; the one which implies a denial of all hope and the openness to the no-sense, implicit in Bataille, Cioran, Camus, and Caraco; just as the one which bases a hope of reconstruction on Nihilism, according to Vattimo.
