Ethical Investigation into Social Security Institutions

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The aim of my research project is to apply the contemporary theories of social justice to debates on social security reform and to investigate into social security institutions from the view-point of social ethics.To attain this end, I confront firstly the Rawlsian methodology 'reflective equlibrium' with 'a new plan for post-war philosophy'(proposed by Shunsuke TSURUMI), secondly 'an ethic of care'(by Carol Gilligan) with 'self-motivated obligation' (by Satoru SAISHU), and lastly 'local justice' (by Jon Elster) with 'socializing nursing care within concrete relationships' and 'nursing care insurance system with a human face' (by Haruki MIYOSHI).Furthermore, I develop my motto, 'Don't make away and don't intrude' and argue for the integration of care and justice.
