A Reexamination of Watsuji ethics

我们今年有以下两个研究主题。对三年来各部门会议的研究成果进行回顾和总结。通过对和氏伦理学研究的比较分析，试图对和氏伦理学进行一个综合的评价。研究支持者Okunami对Watsuji对Herder的解释进行了研究，并批判性地比较了两位思想家在种族多元化和气候学等问题上的论点。研究支持者三宅对和地伦理学的核心术语“相田良”的概念在艺术理论中的运用方式进行了探讨。研究分享者熊野以“和氏伦理学中的时间观”为主题进行了和氏伦理学的研究。这一研究为全面评价和地伦理学提供了一个新的视角。和地伦理学常被解释为批判海德格尔强调时间而强调空间和气候概念作为“人”存在的基本结构的理论。而研究代表佐藤则试图在世纪上半叶科学理论的普遍语境中重新评价和治的成就。

We have the following two research themes this year.1. To reexamine and make a generalization of the outcome of the research we have carried out at each section meeting these three years.2. To attempt a comprehensive evaluation of Watsuji ethics through the comparative examination of separate researches on Watsuji ethics.Each concrete outcome is as follows.1. Okunami, a research supporter, conducted the study on Watsuji's interpretation of Herder and critically compared both thinkers' arguments on the problems such as ethnic pluralism and climatology. And Miyake, a research supporter, made an inquiry about the way that the concept of 'Aidagara ' (which is the key tern of Watsuji ethics) is utilized for the theories of arts.2. Kumano, the research sharer, conducted the study of Watsuji ethics on the theme of 'the concept of time in Watsuii ethics' . This study presented a new, viewpoint for the comprehensive evaluation of Watsuji ethics which has been often interpreted as the theory criticizing Heidegger for his emphasis on time and rather putting stress on the concept of space and climate as the fundamental structure of the existence of 'man' . And Sato, the research representative, attempted a new evaluation of Watsuji's achievements in the universal context of the theories of science in the first half of the twentieth century.
