Problems of Poiesis in Changing the Enviroments

在我们的研究项目中，我们试图重新考虑人类活动是创造性的概念，并从一个新的角度来看待我们如何在我们的创造性（生产性，创造性）活动中改变环境。其大致结果是：（1）创生概念提供了一种不同于实践又不可还原于实践的关于人的活动的新视角。这种观点提供了一个非唯我论的，但共同的观点。（2）我们的身体作为“自然的凝胶”（die gelebte Natur），不可还原为技术的自然，并作为在环境中行动和改变环境的可能性的基础，我们必须把我们的身体看作与环境不可分割的;（3）我们面临着语言中心主义或相对主义的问题。我们试图通过调查集中语言的可能性和寻找文化和历史多元社区共存的新逻辑来解决这个问题。但这一问题还需要进一步研究新的方法。在已完成的成果中，我们只能提到本文所附的研究项目摘要的出版，东京大学文理学院人文学科会议录第103卷哲学系列第28号的出版，其中包括该项目参与者的几篇文章，1995年2月4日在箱根举行的一次特别研讨会，以及一些国际会议，如日本/美国现象学会议（1994年9月13-15日在Pitsburg举行），东亚符号学研讨会（1994年10月20- 26日在中国北京举行），会上讨论了与我们项目有关的几个主题。

In our reserch project we have tried to reconsider the conception of human action as poiesis, and to a new perspective of how we change the enviroment in our poietical (productive, creative) action. It roughly results in :(1) The notion of poiesis offers a new perspective of the action of the human being, different from and irreducible to praxis. Such perspective offeres a non-solipsistic but common pointof view. In this perspective the notion of the "intention" serves as a basic concept of co-productiveness ;(2) Our body is, as "die gelebte Natur", irreducible to th technological nature, and function as the ground of the possibility of acting in the enviroments and changing it. As far, we must regard our body as inseparble form the enviroment ;(3) We are confronted to the problem of anthropo-centric or relativistic language. We tried to resolve it by investigating the possibility of focused language and by searching for a new logic of the coexistence of culturally and historically pluralistic communities. But this problem needs further research new methods.Among other accomplished results we can only mention the publication of the Abstract of Research Project attached here, the publication of The Proceedings of the Department of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, the University of Tokyo, Vol.103, Series of Philosophy No.28, which includes sveral articles by participants in this project, a special seminar session at Hakone (February 4,1995), and some international meetings such as Japan/American Phenomenology Conference (at Pitsburg, September 13-15, 1994), East Asian Semiotic Seminar (at Beijing, P.R.China, October 20-26,1994), where several topics related to our Project were discussed.
