Nobuhara, Tokiyuki. "Katsumi Takizawa's Approach Toward a World Theology: A Critical Exposition from a Process Perspective." Rough Draft, January 1986.

Abstract

"The purpose of this paper is to render a critical exposition of Katsumi Takizawa's philosophical theology from a process perspective. His theological has been a strenuous attempt at conceiving as clearly as possible of the world, as it comes into being, by creative synthesis of the Eastern and Western ways of thinking, as they are represented respectively by the Zen-inspired philosopher Kitaro Nishida and the Protestant theologian Karl Barth. That is, the method, as well as the object, of his theological thinking is global. This is important inasmuch as one of the most crucial criteria of the authenticity of any theological enterprise in the late twentieth century is whether it has a global scope. As shall be shown below, my critical exposition of his thought from a process perspective, too, centers around this issue."
