The focus of this workshop is on the relations between the concepts of self and infinity in the context of Eastern and Western philosophies. As point of departure we take Kitaro Nishida’s paper “Logical understanding and mathematical understanding” of 1912, in which he seeks the source of infinity within the self. Nishida’s development soon led to a fruitful confrontation with phenomenology. We follow Nishida in widening the discussion to the self, consciousness, and world. Finally, we add robotics, which provides an opportunity to rethink the concept of self in a modern context.
