A Constitution of Sociological Study on Publicness

这个研究项目的主要目的是考虑关于公共性的社会学理论。在2002年，这个研究项目的第一年，我研究了以下三个主题，(1)帕森斯社会学理论中的社会秩序问题，(2)哈贝马斯的交往行为与秩序问题，(3)吉登斯的结构理论与秩序问题。2003年是本项目的第二年，我首先以罗尔斯的“正义论”为基础，考察了“公共性”与“正义”的关系。其次，我分析了(1)战后日本社会中日本人如何讨论公共性，(2)日本女权运动领袖如何讨论妇女解放与社会正义的关系。第三，我思考了如何在日本社会将公共性树立为一个社会核心概念。结果，我得到了以下三个发现。(1)公共性作为一种社会核心理念，应该在公民社会中深入扎根。(2)为了实现多元文化和自由的社会；建立在多元化基础上的公共性非常重要。(3)有必要对源自西欧的个人主义思想进行改进。

The main objective of this research project is to consider sociological theories on Publicness.In 2002, the first year of this research project, I studied the following three themes, (1)social order problem in Parsons's sociological theory, (2)communicative action and order problem in Habermas, (3)structuration theory and order problem in Giddens.In 2003, the second year of this research project, based on Rawls's "Theory of Justice", firstly, I examined the relation between ' pubiicness' and 'justice'.Secondly, I analyzed (1)how Japanese people discussed about publicness in postwar Japanese society, (2)how Japanese Feminism movement leaders discussed about the relation between women's liberation and social justice.Thirdly, I considered how to set up publicness as a social key concept in Japanese society.As a result, I acquired the following three findings. (1)Publicness as a social key concept should be taken deep root in civil society. (2)In order to realize a multicultural and liberal society ; publicness based on pluralism is very important. (3)It is necessary to make a improvement of individualism thought derived from Western Europe.
