 The degree to which the Kyoto School thinkers were successful in their boldly paradoxical quest to give philosophical form to the formless can be debated. It is less easy to deny the exigency of the quest itself. If philosophy today is to mature beyond its Eurocentric pubescence, then it is necessary to deepen its quest for universality by way of radically opening it up to a diversity of cultural perspectives. If cultural pluralism, for its part, is to avoid falling into a relativistic antagonism or isolationism, it must entail a metamorphosis rather than an abandonment of the philosophical quest for universality (see Fujita 2013; Maraldo 2013). In any case, we should understand the thought of the Kyoto School, not as exclusively Japanese versions of philosophy, but rather as Japanese contributions to the content of—and indeed to the very formation of the forum of—a global dialogue of philosophy in the making.
