The subject of this paper is overcoming Nihilism on Shuzo Kuki's philosophy, which is able to be characterized by overcoming contingency through contingency. The fundamental question of Kuki's philosophy was the contingency of being. If it IS a contingency that I am or I am I, our being has no bottom, no sense, and no end. But, Kuki quested for exactly the sense in no-sense and the end in no-end. Kuki's analyses on various aspects of contingency (categorical, hypothetical, and disjunctive) ultimately arrive at the "Primitive Contingency (Urzufall)", but exactly there, we witness the "Metaphysical Absolute necessity," Kuki terms this the "Metaphysical Absolute," which can be characterized by "Necessity-Contingency." This means that the contingency recognized empirically is the necessity metaphysically, i.e. contingency is the "Other Being (Anderssein)" of necessity. Furthermore, this metaphysical view reveals that each contingent part and the necessary whole are mutually restricted to each other, therefore, some empirically contingent phenomenon is the reflection of metaphysical necessity. In this way, a contingent being which seems to be no-end appears to be a reflection of the metaphysical necessary end. It comes to be termed "Fate." When we accept the metaphysical necessary end which is revealed on the contingency as our own necessary end, we will hear the commandment "Do not pass a contingency in vain."

This lecture considers the kinds of problems that existed in Shuzo Kuki's life and how they influenced his philosophy. Centrally, The experience of his mother's misery was crucial to his work on the problem of contingency. When humans who periodically bear such a tragic reality, how can (or should) a person live in that reality ? Kuki's philosophy contains an answer to precisely this question. Kuki concludes that contingency should be understood as fate. Kuki's idea is that through subjective will meaningless contingencies should be given meanings. The lecture concludes by showing how Kuki's philosophy has contemporary significance.
