Philosophy of People's 'Motion' -A Basic Theory of Social and Cultural Changes-

自古以来，“运动”一直是哲学家们的一个重要主题（回想一下赫拉克利特的流动理论和芝诺反对运动的论点）。我们对人的运动的研究是从当代角度对这种长期探索的延续。人的运动和物体的运动有多少共同之处？它们有什么不同？与其他动物的动作相比，人类的动作有什么特别之处？通过对这些和其他基本问题的考虑，我们对人民运动提出了一种新的看法；此外，在这种新观的基础上，我们就如何解决与社会和文化变化有关的实际问题提出了建议。在最初的三年里，我们主要致力于发展人的运动哲学的方法论。该研究的领导者Noe Keiichi通过对“异域世界”（IKA1）的理论思考构建了这样一种方法论，即由人们的某种移动所产生的边界。第二年，我们研究了使人们的运动成为可能的“空间”。此外，我们还举办了一场关于隐喻的研讨会，隐喻是一种在象征层面上代表人们运动的文化现象。在第三年，我们的研究重点是“时间”的模式，使人们的运动成为可能。此外，我们与东北哲学协会合作，举办了一个关于威廉·狄尔泰的研讨会，他的“生命哲学”和解释学这些天受到了关注。在这次座谈会上，我们关于文化和社会变化的基本理论证明是坚定而有前途的。

'Motion' has been an important theme for philosophers since antiquity (recall Heraclitus' theory of flux and Zeno's arguments against motion). Our study in people's motion is a continuation with this perennial inquiry from a contemporary perspective. How much do people's motions and the motions of physical objects have in common? How do they differ? What are the distinctive features of human motion in contrast to the motions of other animal species? Through consideration of these and other fundamental questions we have presented a new outlook on people's motion ; furthermore, on the basis of this new outlook, we have made suggestions as to how to solve actual problems related to social and cultural changes.In the first of the three years we were mainly concerned to develop methodology for the philosophy of people's motion. The leader, Keiichi Noe, constructed such a methodology through theoretical consideration of 'alien world' (IKA1), i.e. borders engendered by people's moving of some sort.In the second year we investigated into the 'spaces' that make people's motion possible. Furthermore, we held a symposium on metaphor, a cultural phenomenon representative of people's motion at the symbolic level.In the third year our study focused on the modes of 'time' that make people's motion possible. Moreover, we, in cooperation with Tohoku Philosophical Association, held a symposium on Wilhelm Dilthey, whose 'philosophy of life' and hermeneutics are receiving attention these days. In this symposium our basic theory of cultural and social changes proved both firm and promising.
