西田几多郎自由概念分析

Analysis of Nishida Kitarō’s Concept of Freedom

摘要: 西田几多郎在《善的研究》中的三处地方对“意志的自由”进行了相关的论述，通过对三处论述的分析，本文得到了西田对“意志的自由”的三点理解。并进一步结合西田在《绝对自由意志》与《意志》这两篇文章中的讨论，将西田的自由概念划分为两个层次，第一个层次即自由在意志和自然中的区分，而第二个层次是绝对自由意志。此外，本文通过对西田绝对自由意志与康德自由意志的对比，进一步深入对西田自由概念的理解。

Abstract: Nishida provided relevant discussions on “freedom of will” in three places in his An Inquiry into the Good. Through the analysis of these three discussions, this article obtains Nishida’s three understandings of “freedom of will”. Furthermore, based on Nishida’s discussions in the two articles Absolute Free Will and Will, Nishida’s concept of freedom is divided into two levels. The first level is the distinction between freedom in will and nature, while the second level is absolute free will. In addition, this article further delves into the understanding of Nishida’s concept of freedom by comparing Nishida’s absolute free will with Kant’s free will.
