Studies on Moral Realism Through Its Basis in the Philosophy of Mind and Language

批判了20世纪世纪伦理学的主流，价值的反实在论及其对实在概念的基本理解方式使我们陷入了事实与价值之间不可逾越的鸿沟，为重新思考古希腊哲学特别是亚里士多德伦理学中的道德哲学寻找了新的线索。他还试图阐明亚里士多德实践理性的两个方面的哲学意义，即，通过考察亚里士多德对道德失禁的处理，我们发现道德实在论是一种独特的心灵知觉能力，同时也是一种卓越的推理能力。他将麦克道尔和威金斯的道德情感理论与布莱克本的投射主义进行了比较，并对后者的非认知主义进行了批判，以表明前者的可接受性。诺托米指出，柏拉图《理想国》中的辩证法可以作为一种哲学模式，对通过道德习惯化而获得的美德概念进行批判性反思。神崎神崎在古代哲学的更广泛的方面考虑了实践理性（phronesis）和亚里士多德道德实在论的概念。他还将希腊伦理学与康德的义务论进行了比较。

Criticizing the main stream of twentieth century ethics, i.e., anti-realism of value, and its basic way of understanding the concept of reality, which forced us into the unbridgeable gap between fact and value, this project has looked for new clues for rethinking moral philosophy in ancient Greek philosophy, especially in Aristotelian ethics.Showing the problems of the Humean dualistic conception of human action, T.Niijima has considered the possibility of Aristotelian practical wisdom (phronesis). He also tried to clarify the philosophical significance of the double aspects of Aristotle's practical reason, i.e., its being a distinctive perceptual capacity of mind as well as being the excellence of inferential faculty, through the examination of Aristotle's treatment of moral incontinence.T.Kan has taken up the contemporary controversy concerning moral realism. He compared the moral sensibility theories of J.McDowell and D.Wiggins with the projectionism of S.Blackburn, and criticized the non-cognitivism of the latter position so as to show the plausibility of the former one. In addition, he tried to indicate the availability of a new way of interpreting D.Hume's moral philosophy, with making reference to Wiggins's philosophical works.N.Notomi has argued to show that the dialectic in Plato's Republic can work as a philosophical model for the critical reflection onto the conceptions of virtues which were acquired through moral habituation. He also investigated how the sense of ethical values can be some synthetic perception which is to be called "common sense" in later periods.S.Kanzaki has considered the concept of practical reason (phronesis) and Aristotelian moral realism in the wider aspects of ancient philosophy. Further-more, he compared Greek ethics with Kantian deontology.
