Soku hi
{{Confusing|date=December 2010}}
Soku-hi ({{langx|ja|即非}}) means "is and is not". The term is primarily used by the representatives of the Kyoto School of Eastern philosophy.
The logic of soku-hi or "is and is not" represents a balanced logic of symbolization reflecting sensitivity to the mutual determination of universality and particularity in nature, and a corresponding emphasis on nonattachment to linguistic predicates and subjects as representations of the real.[http://ccbs.ntu.edu.tw/FULLTEXT/JR-PHIL/axtell1.htm G.
