The Formation of Scholasticism as a Matrix of the Western Sciences

本课题的目的是通过考察希伯来教如何接受希腊哲学并加深对希腊哲学的理解，来弄清经院哲学作为西方科学母体的形成过程，为此，我们首先对文献数据库（《基督文集》、《亚里士多德文集》、《托马斯阿奎那文集》等）进行了基础性研究。阐明西方科学的基本概念是如何在希腊哲学和经院哲学中出现的，并作了索引。在此基础上，对确定的主题进行了如下研究.中泽考察了经院哲学是如何接受希腊哲学的，以及在接受过程中，希腊哲学的基本概念发生了怎样的变化。他主要分析了柏拉图在对话录（普罗泰戈拉和泰阿泰德）中如何理解真理、知识、存在等概念，以及柏拉图（菲利布斯）和亚里士多德如何理解美德、善、快乐等伦理概念。然后，他将这些概念与哲学家对经院哲学的理解进行了比较。花井先生研究了经院哲学基本概念的独特性及其对西方科学形成的影响。他特别分析了托马斯阿奎那哲学中的真与善的概念，指出了阿奎那的思想对西方科学形成的影响。

The purpose of our project was to make clear the process of the formation of Scholasticism as a matrix of the western sciences by exploring how Hebraism accepted the Greek Philosophy and deepened the understanding of it. For this purpose, we first made a basic research of the text-databases (Corpus Christianorum, Works of Aristotle, Works of Thomas Aquinas, etc.) to clarify how the basic concepts of the western sciences appear in the Greek Philosophy and the Scholasticism, and made indices. And then, we made studies on the definite themes as follows.1. NAKAZAWA made research on how Greek Philosophy is accepted by Scholasticism, and in the process of acceptance, what transfiguration its basic concepts have undergone. He mainly analyzed how the concepts of truth, knowledge, existence, etc. are understood by Plato in is dialogues (Protagoras and Theaetetus), and the ethical concepts such as virtue, good, pleasure, etc. are understood by Plato (Philebus) and Aristotle. Then he compared these concepts to the understanding by philosophers of Scholasticism.2. HANAI made research on the uniqueness of the basic concepts of Scholasticism and its influence on the formation of the western sciences. He especially analyzed the concepts of the truth and the goodness in the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas, and pointed out how his thought influenced the formation of the western sciences.
