Question

A philosopher theorized that this concept was the Other-power to which a person must surrender their self-power through the process of meta-noesis. Inspired by Plato’s concept of khôra, a philosopher theorized this concept as the final basho. A form of this concept was first articulated in the essay From That Which Acts to That Which Sees. This is the second concept in the title of a book that describes a Peeping Tom suddenly realizing he is being looked at. (15[1])The (*) Kyoto School theorized the “absolute” (10[1])form of this concept, a Western version of which Keiji Nishitani contrasted with eastern sunyata. This is the second title concept of a book that uses the example of a cafe waiter to explain the concept of “bad faith.” For 10 points, the title of a Jean-Paul Sartre (10[1])book pairs what concept with Being? ■END■

ANSWER: nothingness [or absolute nothingness; or zettai-mu; or negation; accept sunyata before mention; accept Religion and Nothingness; or Being and Nothingness]
