"PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE VALUE" OF TSUCHIDA KYOSON AND ITS STUDY IN TERMS OF ETHICAL THOUGHTS

本研究从伦理思想的角度来探讨土田恭子的哲学思想。土田恭松是一位哲学家，活跃于大正和昭和早期的哲学和社会批判。他是日本所谓的应用伦理学的鼻祖。然而，他不像今天那样受到赏识。他的著作涉及社会哲学、道德哲学、技术、教育、经济哲学、文化哲学、日本思想史等。他广泛的兴趣是建立在深厚的哲学基础上的，我们估计这是佛教，特别是《凯冈经》。《凯冈经》为土田揭示了自我与他人、社会关系和宇宙秩序的基础。在本研究中，我分析了他广泛的哲学兴趣与“KEGON”哲学之间的关系。我们可以将其深刻的哲学立场称为“生命价值哲学”。从这个观点出发，他的哲学体系得以发展。我发表了两篇论文和一本书。这些著作阐明了他的哲学和整个思想体系。他的社会哲学，特别是共同体思想，不同于近代日本代表性伦理学家对日本共同体的阐释，如WATSUJI哲学。WATSUJI的社区是一个严格的系统，不允许个人主义。相反，TSUCHIDA的社区包含个人自由甚至任意意志。重新审视土田哲学，才能找到日本现代哲学的新遗产。

This study deals TSUCHIDA KYOSON's Philosophy in terms of ethical thoughts. TSUCHIDA, KYOSOM is a philosopher, who was active in philosophy and social criticism in Taisho and early Showa period. He was a progenitor of so-called applied ethics in Japan. However, he is not appreciated as he was today.His works ranged social philosophy, moral philosophy, technology, education, philosophy of economy, cultural philosophy, Japanese history of ideas and so on. His wide interests was based on the deep philosophy, which we estimate as Buddhism, especially "KEGON Sutra". KEGON Sutra reveals the ground of self and the others, social relations and the order of cosmos for TUCHIDA.In this study I analyzed the relation between his wide philosophical interests and philosophy of "KEGON". We can name his deep philosophical Standpoints "Philosophy of Life Value". From this standpoint, his philosophical system develops.I issued two papers and one books. These works cleared up his philosophy and total system of ideas.His social philosophy, especially idea of community is different from for example WATSUJI's Philosophy, representative ethicist in modern Japan, who interpreted Japanese community. WATSUJI's Community is a rigid system and does not permit individualism. On the contrary TSUCHIDA's community contains individual freedom and even arbitrary will. TSUCHIDA's philosophy should be estimated again, and then we can find a new legacy of Japanese modern philosophy.
