THE STUDY ON HISTORY OF THOUGHTS BY THE WAY OF LEO STRAUSS'S POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AND THE POSSIBILITY OF POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY

三年来的研究成果，主要有：1.对施特劳斯在日本没有翻译过也没有仔细阅读过的著作和论文，如《论暴政》、《古今自由主义》、《彷徨与写作艺术》、《现代性的三次浪潮》等，继续进行日文翻译和仔细阅读; 2.我们与美国、德国、加拿大和澳大利亚等国的许多哲学家或政治学学者合作进行研究。这样，我们就可以在日本的大学里举行关于施特劳斯政治哲学的国际会议。我们邀请了六位国外大学教授（顺便说一下，我们邀请的教授是Nathan Tarcov（芝加哥大学教授），Heinrich Meier（德国Carl Friedrich von Siemens Stiftung教授），Steven Smith（耶鲁大学教授），Michael Zuckert（圣母大学教授），Catherine Zuckert（圣母大学教授）， ...更多信息 Haig Patapan（澳大利亚格里菲斯大学高级讲师），我们从施特劳斯的视角对现代性的政治哲学问题进行了研究，试图弄清楚我们所处时代的伦理政治问题;我们还从施特劳斯的视角对思想史和古典政治哲学进行了重新解读;我们还从施特劳斯的视角对现代性的政治哲学问题进行了重新解读，试图从现代性的视角对现代性的政治哲学问题进行重新解读。5.此外，我们还对哲学与暴政的关系、现代国家的宪法以及后现代社会的社会和政治制度等问题进行了研究。6.最后，我们还出版了一份名为《政治哲学》的杂志，其中包括：不仅是施特劳斯的哲学，也包括一般的政治哲学。在已经出版或即将出版的三卷本期刊上，我们可以发表施特劳斯的三篇论文和他的学生已经为我们发表的六篇论文的日文版（其中包括斯坦利罗森和阿耶·莫茨金的论文），也可以发表一些由日本学者撰写的论文，推动或合作我们的计划。少

The results of our research program for three years will be summarized as follows.1.We went on with Japanese translation and careful-reading of Strauss's books and papers which had neither translated nor read carefully in Japan, for example, On Tyranny, Liberalism Ancient and Modern, Persecution and the Art of Writing,‘Three Waves of Modernity', and so on.2.We advanced our studies in collaboration with many philosophers or scholars of political science in foreign countries, for example, US, Germany, Canada and Australia. And therewith we could hold international conferences on Strauss's political philosophy in the universities in Japan. We invited six university professors from abroad (incidentally the professors we invited were Nathan Tarcov (Prof.at University of Chicago), Heinrich Meier (Prof.at Carl Friedrich von Siemens Stiftung in Germany), Steven Smith (Prof.at Yale University), Michael Zuckert (Prof.at Notre Dame University), Catherine Zuckert (Prof.at Notre Dame University), a … More nd Haig Patapan (senior lecturer at Griffith University in Australia), who delivered 12 lectures about Strauss's political philosophy and Straussian thought.3.And we went on with our studies on political and philosophical problems of the modernity from the Straussian perspective and tried to make clear the ethical and political problems in our age.4.We also reinterpreted the history of thoughts and the classical political philosophies from the Straussian perspective, i.e.from the standpoint of‘the art of writing'and the‘careful-reading'of the texts.5.Besides, we developed investigations on problems of the relation between philosophy and tyranny, of the constitutions of modern states and of the social and political regime in postmodern age.6.Last but not least, we issued a journal entitled"Political Philosophy", which treats, needless to say, not only specifically Strauss's philosophy, but also political philosophy in general. On that journal of which 3 volumes were already issued or are about to issue, we could publish the Japanese version of three Strauss's papers and of six papers already addressed for us by his students (in which Stanley Rosen's and Aryeh Motzkin's paper are contained), and also publish some papers written by Japanese scholars propelling or collaborating to our program.
