Abstract
This paper refutes that the first written document in which the name "Kyoto school"
is found corresponds to the article written by Tosaka Jun (1900-1945) and published
in 1932 with the title "The philosophy of the Kyoto school". It will be shown that it
was another thinker, Tsuchida Kyōson (1891-1934), who in his Contemporary
Thought of Japan and China, a book originally written in Japanese in 1926 and then
in English in 1927, includes Nishida and Tanabe under the name "Kyoto school", thus
years before Tosaka's text. The inclusion of this unnoticed source contributes to the
question about the historical significance of the designation of the "school" in the
lifetime of its most famous members.
