Introduction. Intuition and Introspection in Consciousness is one of the important milestones in the development of Nishida's philosophy in the early days, which attempts to provide an answer to the philosophical questions contained in the concept of "pure experience" in The Study of Goodness, and then develops a system of "self-awareness" that covers "intuition" and "reflection". The concept of "self-consciousness", which is at the core of this book, provides an important ideological soil for the mid-term Nishida philosophy, that is, the philosophy of "place", and has an important position of inheriting the past and opening up the future. Here, Nishida illustrates his "conscious" philosophical stance through dialogues with neo-Kantianism, German epistemology, psychology, phenomenology, philosophy of life, and even natural sciences such as physics, mathematics, and geometry. This book is an important work of ideological stirring and philosophical creation between Japanese philosophers in the early 20th century and mainstream Western philosophers at that time, and can play a leading role in the attention of contemporary scholars to "mutual learning between Eastern and Western philosophies and civilizations".
