 Nishida’s logic of place has been a resource for theoreticians working in various scientific fields, for example Imanishi Kinji in biology and ecology, Shimizu Hiroshi in complexity theory and information science, Nonaka Ikujiro in management theory, and Ko Hojo in the philosophy of chemistry. The architect Ando Tadao, and artists like the calligrapher Morita Shiryū have also drawn from Nishida’s philosophy, as has the psychotherapist Kimura Bin. Ultimately, Nishida himself is best considered an independent thinker, as the growing literature in Japanese and Western languages attests.
