Sokuhi

sokuhi or soku-hi ( Japanese 非 ) is a Japanese form of logic in which affirmation (Japanese soku) and negation (Japanese hi) interpenetrate (Japanese egoteki). The core formulation is: Since A is not A, A is just A. This train of thought comes from formulations of the Diamond Sutra , this Prajna intuition was then further developed by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki under the title sokuhi and in connection with the concept of emptiness ( jap. 空 , kū ) in the approach of the Kyōto schoolhas been integrated by Nishida Kitarō .

The Kyōto school suggests an interference of dualisms with sokuhi , such as domination and servitude (Hegel reception in Nishida) or nihilum and shunyata (Heidegger reception in Nishitani ).
