A Ethical Study Concering Action and Decision-Making in Global environmental Problems

该项目获得的主要结果是根据价值的伦理概念为环境问题采取行动的指导方针奠定了基础。Kuwako的中心主题是他在他出版的名为“哲学气相”的书中研究的伦理理论的本质。关键字包括“身体”、“环境”、“行为”、“价值”、“属性”等。特别是对中国哲学中新儒家传统的研究，揭示了财产观念与环境观念之间的本质关系。Kuwako提出了身体结构的概念，作为理解人类与其环境之间基本相关性的关键。铃木不仅研究了在与环境问题有关的决策过程中工作的价值判断的性质，而且还研究了决策如何依赖于每个场合的价值判断。Kuwako和Suzuki的佐证清楚地表明，我们应该扭转所谓的环境伦理所采取的考虑方向。我们不应该考虑如何将幸福、权利和人等概念应用于环境问题，而应该从人与环境之间的相互关系中理解的价值观的角度来批评这些概念。这是这个项目最重要的成就，这让Kuwako和Suzuki确认他们应该继续进一步调查这个问题。

The main result obtained by this project is to give a foundation to guidelines of actions taken for environmental issues in terms of the ethical notion of value.The central theme of Kuwako is the nature of ethical theory that he investigated in his published book entitled 'The philosophy Gaseous Phase.' The keywords are such ones as 'body, ' 'environment, ' 'action, ' 'value, ' 'property, ' etc. In particular the study of Neo-Confucian Tradition in Chinese Philosophy revealed the essential relationship between the notions of property and environment. Kuwako has offered the notion of bodily configuration as a key to understand the fundamental correlation between humans and their environment.Suzuki has investigated not only in the nature of value judgments that work in the process of decision making in relation to the environmental issues, but also in the way how decisions depend upon value judgments in every occation.The Corroboration of Kuwako and Suzuki has made the point clear that we should reverse the direction of consideration taken by so called environmental ethics. We should not consider how to apply the notions such as happiness, rights and persons to environmental issues, but criticize these notions from the viewpoint of values that are understood in the correlation between humans and their environment. This is the most important achievement of this project, which made Kuwako and Suzuki confirm that they should continue to investigate this problem further.
