Question

A Marxist philosopher who was trained at this university analyzed everydayness in terms of a dialectical logic of space in essays like “The Principle of Everydayness and Historical Time.” In From the Acting to the Seeing, a professor at this university wrote about a concrete situatedness that is prior to the subject-object distinction, a concept that he developed in essays like “The Logic of Place and the Religious Worldview.” A philosopher who graduated from this university before studying under Heidegger theorized (-5[1])a “field of nihility” (10[1])based on the notion (10[1])of shūnyatā (10[3]-5[1])(“shoon-YAH-tah”). The concept of mu (10[1])(“moo”) influenced philosophers from this (10[1])university to write (10[1])about (10[2])“absolute (-5[1])nothingness,” (10[1]-5[1])a term coined by the author of An Inquiry into the Good. For 10 points, (-5[1])what university lends its name to a philosophical school (10[1])that combined Western existentialism (-5[1])with Buddhism (10[1])and was led by Kitarō Nishida? ■END■ (10[4]0[3])
