Nishida Kitarō (stanford Encyclopedia Of Philosophy) / quote 12 of 19
Absolute nothingness
A model of interpretation is relevant: every text has its context, which in turn may be made a text or thematized by appealing to a further context. There is no final context that can be specified without referring to yet another context. For Nishida this relation would not be settled by invoking the notion of an infinite regress; rather it indicates the necessity of an ultimate context of a different order, one that allows the distinction between a specific text and its context. This ultimately unspecifiable context in Nishida's terms is called absolute nothingness.
