the range of possibility

the idea of existence

The philosophy of Ishizu is quite simple, and can be shown to have two subject matters. One is the self-evidence of existence. This means the place which self-consciousness cannot reach. The other, and the most basic, fact is the way a person will depend on the place as it is. Both together constitute the thought of Ishizu. But these are outside factors, negatives of self-consciousness. Therefore they are naturally of no shape, no word and no explanation. Ishizu knew this very well, but tried to explain them through words, in order to give them some shape. This thesis will explain the process.
