STUDY OF THE REEXAMINATION OF MODERN VALUES

本研究旨在重新审视近代早期的价值观，这些价值观为我们今天的价值观提供了依据。由于当今我们面临着文明的混乱，这些旧的价值观和社会公共性正在崩溃，科学技术的消极面日益成为尖锐的问题，因此我们的研究具有紧迫的重要性。特别是在今年，我们试图研究现代“公民”概念的谱系及其当前存在的问题，从而描述了今天所需要的“公民”。（首席研究员）遵循清教革命时期政治文献中的“合作自由”思想和卢梭、康德、栗原慎太郎还对工业生产的伦理学进行了考察，论证了赋予生产活动以“故事”的重要性。山内溥追溯了中世纪哲学家如邓斯·司各脱关于“人”概念的谱系，并讨论了我的人格的独特性的哲学基础。木户以康德《启蒙篇》中的“公民”概念为线索，对启蒙哲学的当代意义进行了探讨，对“自由”、“公民”、“人”、“多数”等现代价值观进行了溯源，并对这些价值观的原初语境进行了重构。因此，我们认为，我们可以为我们现在的社会提供重要的视角。

This study intended to reexamine the values in early modern period which gave the grounds to our present ones. Because nowadays we come up against such confusion of our civilization that these old values and the social publicness are collapsing and the negative sides of scientific technologies are increasingly becoming acuter problems, our study has a pressing importance. In current year particularly we tried to examine the genealogy of the modern concept of "citizens" and its current problematic and thus described the "citizenship" which is needed today.As results of this research, Kurihara (head investigator) followed the idea of "cooperative liberty" in political documents in the Puritan Revolution period and the theory of social contract of Rousseau, Kant, Hegel and so on. And Kurihara also examined the ethics of industrial production, arguing the importance of giving the "stories" to the productive activities. Yamauchi traced the genealogy of the concept of "person" in the context of medieval philosophers such as Duns Scotus and discussed the philosophical ground of uniqueness of my personality. Kido argued the current meaning of the enlightenment philosophy by following the genesis of an idea of "citizens" in Kant's Enlightenment-Article.In these studies we traced the modern values such as "freedom", "citizen", "person" and "majority" back to the origins and reconstructed these original contexts. And thus, we think, we could offer significant perspectives to our present society.
