A Study of Constructing a General Framework for the Analysis of the Structure of Actions and Events

WARAGAI取得的主要成果是建立了一个分析事件的逻辑框架。在他的研究中，他特别注意到“个别事件”的逻辑可能性问题。换句话说，主要的问题是：“个人事件”的概念在逻辑上是可以接受的吗？这导致了他构建了一种语言，在这种语言中，我们可以将(A)是(B)的一个实例关系视为一种逻辑关系。人们应该注意到这样一个事实，即这种关系与今天作为标准逻辑工具的标准逻辑框架完全不同，即弗拉基安一阶语言。WARAGAI[1990]在目标建设方面取得了相当大的成功。清单上的几乎所有其他结果都是基于这项工作的结果[1990]。他在他的[1993]中证明，自然语言中与生俱来的逻辑配备了一种自然手段，通过这种手段，在事件层面上区分个人和将军变得有意义。这一结果为我们提供了讨论个别事件的逻辑基础。夸瓦科研究的中心主题是探索如何可能构建人类行动理论。他试图通过考虑亚里士多德的行动、欲望、信仰、快乐等概念来回答这个问题。但其中一个结论是，它们不是我们所需要的那种理论的足够工具。如果不考虑行为发生的情况，就不可能解释人类行为的性质。在这里，我们必须认识到情境观及其相关概念在朱子思想中的重要性。

The main result obtained by WARAGAI is concerned with a construction of a logical framework for the Analysis of events. In his research, he payed a special heed to the problem of logical possibility of 'individual events'. The main problem was, in other words stated, this: Is the notion of 'individual event' (a) logically acceptable one? This led him to the construction of a language in which we may treat '(a) is -an -instance-of (b)' relation as a logical relation. One should notice the fact that this relation is completely alien to the standard logical framework taken today as a standard logical tool, i.e. Fragean first-order language. WARAGAI [1990] wa quite successful in the aimed construction. Almost all the other results on the list are based on the result of this work [1990]. He proved in his [1993] that the logic innate in natural language in equipped with a natural device by means of which it becomes meaningful to distinguish individuals from generals at the level of events. This result provides us with the logical ground of discussing about individual events.The Central Theme of KUWAKO's study is to investigate how it is possible to construct a theory of human action. He tried to answer this question by considering Aristotelian notion of action, desire, belief, pleasure, etc. But one of the conclusion is that they are not sufficient tools for the kind of theory that we need. It is impossible to explain the nature of human action without taking into consideration the situation where actions are performed. Here we must recognize the importance of the notion of situation and its related notions in the thought of Chu Hsi.
