The Following video is a continuation of my series on Classical German philosophy and Post-Kantian thought. In this episode of the Young Idealist, I am joined by a very special guest: Dr. Jason Wirth who is a professor of philosophy at Seattle University and works and teaches in the areas of Continental Philosophy, Buddhist Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Environmental Philosophy.

Dr. Wirth helps navigate the viewer through the complex life and philosophy of the brilliant Japanese philosopher Keiji Nishitani. Dr. Wirth also gives us a detailed historical account of both Japan and the rich philosophers surrounding the Kyoto School.

As the discussion takes on a life of it's own the two philosophical worlds surrounding both Nishitani and Schelling, come to life. Dr. Wirth brings both Nishitani and Schelling together to speak about the overlapping connections, experiences and lives of the philosophers. Between Philosophy and Zen both Schelling and Nishitani are concerned with the hard existential questions surrounding a life, devoted to the fundamental crisis of ground.

Dr. Jason M. Wirth is professor of philosophy at Seattle University and works and teaches in the areas of Continental Philosophy, Buddhist Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Environmental Philosophy.
