Theoretical and Practical Studies on the Crossing between Philosophy and Natural Science concerning Matter, Life, and Person

我们的课题是关于哲学如何与自然科学进行学术思想交流的问题。 为了进行这个项目，我们突出了三个关键词，即“物质”，“生命”，“人”，这对应于约翰洛克的历史上著名的三个概念的身份区分。 在物质方面，我们主要研究了大脑的生理现象与人的心理之间的关系。 对于生命，我们从应用伦理学的角度进行研究。 例如，一之濑发表了一篇关于自由意志辩论中的死刑问题的论文。 对于人，例如，我们考察了休谟的个人同一性概念，或者从现象学的角度考察了“关怀”的概念。此外，我们还应对了2011年3月11日袭击日本东部的大地震和海啸，以及随后发生的福岛核电站放射性物质泄漏事故。 我们发表了论文，涉及物理学和医学。

Our project is concerned with a question on how philosophy should interchange academic ideas with natural science. In order to carry out the project, we highlight three keywords, namely, "matter", "life", "person", which correspond to John Locke's historically famous distinction of the three notions of identity. As to matter, we mainly studied the relation between physiological phenomena of brain and human mind. As to life, we conducted research from a applied ethic's point of view. For instance, Ichinose published a paper on the death penalty in the light of free will debate. As to person, for example, we investigated Hume's concept of personal identity, or examined the notion of "care" from Phenomenology's viewpoint. Additionally, we reacted to the big earthquake and tsunami that attacked the East part of Japan on 11 March 2011 followed by the Fukushima nuclear power plant's accident that emitted radioactive matters. We published papers, considering physics and medicine.
