Abstract:

Olympic Education as an Intergenerational Relation of the Third DegreeThe 30th anniversary meeting of the Japanese Society for the Philosophy of Sport and Physical Education was held in September 2008. It has been over 30 years since this society was established. Nevertheless the tendency and recent trend in sport philosophy in Japan have not been conveyed abroad. The good reason behind this may be the language barrier between English and Japanese. This makes it difficult to spread the activities on sport philosophy in Japan throughout the world. The question arises as to whether sport philosophy in Japan has the same trend and tendency as sport philosophy in Western countries. We would like to report on sport philosophy in Japan, especially on its characteristics and future perspectives, in order to contribute toward the international development in this field. Sport was introduced into Japan from Western countries in the Meiji period when a national isolation policy in the Shogunate Government of the Edo period finished. The Japanese accepted and have been developing it as a means of school physical education. This fact shows why sport philosophy in Japan has its origins not in sport as culture but in sport in physical education at school. The Japanese philosophy of sport society was not founded by philosophers. It was founded and has been administered by experts in teaching sport and physical education. They recognized several reasons why sport philosophy widened its object from school physical education to sport as the cultural and public phenomenon in the 1960s. Competitive sport was recognized with Japan taking the opportunity of staging the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 1964. This happened because the nation was strongly interested in the competitive sport, and in particular in the Olympic Games. The object of sport philosophy came to be taken for the social meaning of this competitive sport. Also, the change of the Japanese mind structure from common consciousness to self-consciousness, which was affected by the understanding of the human being in the Western culture, made sport a certain action of personal meanings. We would like to suggest a future perspective of the sport philosophy in Japan.

Abstract:

The basic safety design philosophy of Mitsubishi pressurized water reactors (PWRs) is discussed and compared with the British PWR. PWR plants are designed in accordance with the Japanese regulatory guidelines which are similar to American and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safety criteria and are based on defence-in-depth principles. The high reliability of nuclear power plants is especially emphasized in Mitsubishi PWRs, and this has been demonstrated by the good operating experience of PWR plants in Japan. The safety system designs of six key items, which were discussed in the recent review of overseas designs by British utilities, are addressed to show the difference in the design philosophy between the United Kingdom and Japan.

Abstract:

Daisaku Ikeda is the Buddhist leader of one of the most visible religious movements today, the Soka Gakkai International (SGI). In this thesis, the main research question concerns the peace philosophy of Ikeda and its contribution to peace theory. Daisaku Ikeda and the SGI have been the subject of several scholarly studies in the fields of religious history and sociology. The focus of this research is on the significance of Ikeda's contributions in the field of peace studies, where his work has not yet been the subject of systematic investigation. It is argued that the originality of Ikeda's philosophy of peace resides in two main elements. First, the starting point is consistently human life and its potential for peace and happiness, not the omnipresence of conflict. Second, he offers a coherent system linking the individual, dialogical and global levels, which can be represented as a triangle made of three conceptual frameworks, that of Humanistic Psychology (Human Revolution), Communicative Rationality (Dialogue) and Cosmopolitan Democracy (Global Civilization). It is also argued that while being inspired by Ikeda's Buddhist spirituality and his loyalty to his mentor Josei Toda, this secular humanist approach to peace offers an effective and original way for all people to participate in the construction of a better world, regardless of their religious or ideological affiliation, social background or cultural practices.

Abstract:

After the Meiji Restoration of 1862, Western philosophy was imported and infused into Japanese culture and its intellectual climate. By the early 20th Century, Kyoto School philosophers and romantic authors sought to reaffirm Japanese culture, believed jeopardised by the hastened development of Western capitalist modernity. This movement became politically charged, and is not without fascist allegations. After the Second World War modernism again became a primary intellectual concern, as modernists and Asianists alike attempted to struggle with the idea of fascism in Japan. Works of Nishida Kitaro (1870-1945) and Watsuji Tetsuro (1889-1960), and the prewar contexts within which they were written, will be compared to the postwar thinkers Maruyama Masao (1914-1996) and Takeuchi Yoshimi (1910-1977). The purpose of this thesis is to examine how Japanese thinkers before and after the Second World War understood and responded to the global process of modernity, and how it relates to such political movements as liberalism and fascism.

Abstract:

Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Doutor em História dos Descobrimentos e da Expansão Portuguesa<br>This work shows that the transmission of European natural philosophy by Christian missionaries in Japan during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was made in a systematic way, even if at an elementary level. The Kenkon Bensetsu is used as main evidence of this. This text was introduced into Japan by Antonio Rubino, on the orders of Inoue Masashige it was translated by Sawano Chuan, at the request of Kainosho Masanobu it was transliterated by Nishi Kichibei and Mukai Gensho, and this last one also wrote a commentary on its theories from a neo-Confucian perspective. The historical setting and the process that led to the production of the Kenkon Bensetsu are described. From this it is established that the Japanese of all walks of life were curious about the causes of natural phenomena; that the missionaries had the ability to provide those explanations, drawing from the pool of theories provided by sixteenth century Aristotelian natural philosophy, adjusted to the interests and talents of their audience; and that the Japanese authorities considered that these theories were important in some way and thus took the necessary steps to ensure that that they would not be consigned into oblivion as a consequence of their efforts to stamp out Christianity. The text is integrally translated following explicit criteria, therefore opening the way to further exploration by many researchers. Some of its most striking characteristics concerning content and style are analysed.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the concepts of history and tradition in modern Japan, with an emphasis on the writings of Sei'ichi Shirai (1905--1983). Although Shirai has been considered as one of the most important architects of 20th century Japan, he has also been treated as an obscure figure, no doubt partly because of the enigmatic quality of his writings. A major element that contributed to his obscure status and set him apart from his contemporaries was his understanding of history and tradition.<br>The introductory essay examines the concept of tradition prevalent around Shirai's time: how it was constructed by an a posteriori writing of history and in what ways this is complicated by Shirai's writings. The second portion of the thesis is an annotated translation of two of Shirai's texts demonstrating his attempts to disclose the a priori principles inherent in the unfolding of tradition through history.

Full text

Abstract:

Mori Arimasa (森有正, 1911-1976) a élaboré à partir de son propre cheminement ce qu’il est convenu d’appeler sa philosophie de l’« expérience ». Elle inscrit ses développements dans la comparaison culturelle Europe - Japon, notamment au travers de la distinction « expérience » (経験) / « vécu » (体験). Dans notre travail, nous mettons en question les développements comme les fruits de cette philosophie de l’« expérience ». Pour ce faire, nous commençons par présenter une biographie de l’auteur. Dans un deuxième temps, nous proposons une présentation critique de sa philosophie de l’« expérience », qui selon nous reprend les problèmes de la pensée dichotomiste classique (de Descartes à Bergson) qui renferme un profond mysticisme. La confrontation culturelle entre le Japon et l’Europe est directement tributaire de cette aporie, combinée à une vision partiale : il y a ainsi une bonne « expérience » occidentale et un mauvais « vécu » japonais. Mori se positionne donc en marge de son époque, qui essayait de mettre en question l’hégémonie occidentale et de défendre la pluralité des cultures. Enfin, nous proposons une traduction commentée d’Expérience et Pensée (『経験と思想』, 1970-1972). Miné par les contradictions, les préjugés et le désespoir, Mori échoue finalement à proposer une voie positive pour le Japon. Dans le commentaire à la traduction, nous essayons de rediriger la philosophie de l’« expérience » vers une voie plus positive<br>From his own path, Mori Arimasa (森有正, 1911-1976) developed his so-called philosophy of “experience”. His philosophy eventually grew into an intercultural comparison model, the dualism of two forms of experience, keiken (経験) and taiken (体験). In this study, we tried to challenge the development and the fruits of this philosophy of “experience”. We started with a biography of the author. Then we presented his thought around “experience”, which we think inherit the problems of the dichotomous vision of reality, which cross the French classical philosophy from Descartes to Bergson. The confrontation between Europe and Japan is directly dependent on this dualistic view, which has no solution to offer instead mysticism, and combined with the partial judgment of the author, coming from his own personal life. Finally, in his thought, the “good” western experience is pushed against the “bad” Japanese experience. Lastly, we propose a translation in French for his “great” essay, Experience and Thought (『経験と思想』, 1970-1972). Undermine by his contradictions, his bias and despair, Mori did not manage to open a positive way for Japan. In the commentary of the translation, we tried to redirect his philosophy in a more positive way

Full text

Abstract:

Ce livre part d’un double constat : la philosophie véhicule des distinctions dualistes dont la conflictualité affaiblit gravement notre sentiment de solidarité humaine et qui sont autant d’obstacles au développement humain et au progrès social ; affronter la philosophie sur son propre terrain mène à une impasse, toute objection à son règne métaphysique devant, pour être reçue, se formuler dans les termes mêmes de la métaphysique... Il s’agit donc de changer de terrain, ou de chemin. Pour pacifier la pensée et ainsi les rapports humains, il faut instaurer une véritable démocratie dans/de la pensée : établir une pensée dépourvue de but, qui substitue à la recherche de la Vérité celle de la Liberté, ouvrant la voie d’une Utopie libérale.Cette pensée, pour être réelle, doit s’appuyer sur le seul réel qui soit : l’Homme lui-même, en tant qu’Étranger complet, non seulement à l’ensemble des « sciences humaines », mais à la pensée dans sa totalité. On parle d’Utopie radicale de l’Homme, telle que la Philosophie non-standard ou Non-Philosophie en propose la posture. Une posture qui consonne étrangement avec la pratique en kâta, développée au Japon depuis plusieurs millénaires comme « posture en-pratique-complète » de la pensée. Le kâta est au cœur de tous les arts et pratiques au Japon, il forme la base la plus générale des techniques de soi, et façonne la pensée et les pratiques sociétales dans leur ensemble. Kâta, de même que la Philosophie non-standard, permet l’axiomatisation de la pensée et sa posture sans tenter de véhiculer de vérité. Ils constituent de la sorte une alternative crédible à la pensée-monde occidentale aujourd’hui en impasse.L’ouvrage a été publié chez L’Harmattan sous le titre « POSTURES ET PRATIQUES DE L'HOMME - Libéralisme, philosophie non-standard et pensée japonaise »[en ligne: ]<br>The actual system of thought is founded on the use and proliferation of dualist distinctions that are responsible for the weakening of our sentiments of human solidarity thus represents an obstacle to the future social and human development. Confronting this model on its own terms leads to a dead end, for any objection to its metaphysical reign is expected to be formulated in the same terms of the metaphysical vocabulary that the standardized model of philosophy uses therefore we need to change the field of action trough the idea of efficient democracy inside the economy of knowledge that is built as a rigid and centralized system. Establishing a democracy of thought implies establishing a system of thought that doesn’t rely on a metaphysical purpose beyond Man. I rely on the research done by Richard Rorty and Michel Foucault on the relation between various forms of power, knowledge and language. Furthermore I use the theoretical model developed by François Laruelle known as Non-standard philosophy in order to analyze the shortcomings of both Rorty and Foucault. Non-standard philosophy demonstrates how all forms of philosophy are structured around a prior decision of dialectical division of the world in order to be able to grasp the world philosophically. Philosophers remain constitutively unaware of this prior decision making process thus perpetuating a self-sufficient practice of philosophy. Relying on the model of Non-standard philosophy I am able to analyze an alternative system of thought based on the use of Kâta developed in Japan as a successful example of alternative history of thought to that of the West. This work has been published under the title « POSTURES ET PRATIQUES DE L'HOMME - Libéralisme, philosophie non-standard et pensée japonaise » (online: )

Kreß, Carl Friedrich. "Heideggers Umweltethos." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Philosophische Fakultät I, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/16733.

Full text

Abstract:

Im ersten Teil unternimmt der Autor den Versuch, Martin Heideggers Philosophie als eine Ontologie der Kontingenz zu lesen. Eine solche Ontologie macht keine abschließenden Aussagen mehr über das, was ist, sondern darüber, wie das, was ist, durch Kontingenz geprägt ist. Hierfür identifiziert sie die unterschiedlichen Ereignisweisen von Welt, Erde, Gott und Sprache als diejenigen Strukturen und Konfigurationen, aus denen sich das Kontingente ereignet. Durch den Rekurs auf das Ereignis wird der Begriff des Nichts zu einem ihrer Schlüsselwörter. Er spiegelt sich in Heideggers Versuch wieder, Natur als Physis zu verstehen. Eine als Physis aufgefasste Natur offenbart ihre Ambivalenz gegenüber den technischen Deutungsversuchen der Neuzeit. Auf diese Weise konfrontiert sie den Menschen mit dessen eigener Kontingenz. Heidegger entwickelt hieraus eine spezifische Form des Umweltethos: Es geht nicht mehr darum, in der Natur unveränderliche Werte zu erblicken, vielmehr liegt das Normative in einer Haltung gegenüber der Kontingenz. Der zweite Teil wirft einen Blick auf das Denken in Japan. Dazu erfolgt ein detaillierter Vergleich des heideggerschen Nichts-Begriffs mit dem japanischen. Er zeigt, dass der japanische Nichts-Begriff es weder erlaubt, zu einer Ontologie der Kontingenz zu gelangen noch zu einem Umweltethos nach Heidegger.<br>The first part of this work approaches Heideggers philosophy as an Ontology of Contingency. An Ontology of Contingency doesn''t try to find final answeres to that what is. It rather tries to understand in what way that what is is in the light of contingency. To understand how contingency influences being, it identifies different Ways of Enowning (Ereignisweisen) such as world, earth, god and language as structural configurations that enable emergence. When trying to understand the Ontology of Contingency and its Ways of Enowning nothingness becomes one of its keywords. Nothingness is best understood whithin Heideggers notion of nature as physis. The ambivalence of physis preserves nature of technical interpretations of the modern age and thus konfronts man with his own contingency. From this Heidegger develops a specific notion of Environmental Ethos as opposed to environmental ethics. Heideggers Ethos does not rely on values but sees normative actions as a kind of mindset towards contingency. The second part of this work follows the idea that western philosophy and Japanese thinking can be connected by a common notion of nothingness and thus also yield a common notion of environmental ethics. However, the comparision of Heideggers notion of nothingness with Japanese concepts shows that the latter will not allow for a Ontology of Contingency nor an Environmental Ethos.

Abstract:

Destruction of chemical weapons is a technical area that involves extensive international cooperation, with open discussion among a wide variety of participants aimed at elimination of these weapons of mass destruction. The most common methods for destruction of chemical weapons are: (1) chemical neutralization and (2) incineration after separation of the chemical agent from the weapon’s explosive charge. When the munitions are stockpiled, the agent and the explosive charge are easily separated by means of reverse assembly or water jet cutting. However, for munitions that are not stockpiled, complete separation of agent and explosive charge is nearly impossible.

Abstract A compact low cost lightweight ROV (Remotely operated underwater vehicle) has been developed to assist in the monitoring of offshore wind generation systems. The ROV successfully dove 76 meters to check the condition of the spa to the base and associated moorings of a floating offshore wind generator (Goto, Nagasaki, Japan). An abundance of sea life was also observed around the base as the base provides a kind of artificial reef which fosters a marine ecosystem. The design philosophy of this ROV and overall system are described in this paper including the proposed addition of robotic arms.

Full text

Abstract:

In response to the pipe wall thinning damage experienced in power plants in 2004, the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) has started activities to develop technical standards on the pipe wall thinning management. The first edition of the JSME rules on pipe wall thinning management for thermal power generation facilities (JSME S TB1-2006 [1]) was issued in March 2006, and its latest edition will be issued in 2007, which describes the technical requirements to meet the JSME performance-based rules for pipe wall thinning management (JSME S CA-1 2005 [2]). Based on 24,774 inspection data obtained at the thermal power plants in Japan, the latest JSME rules will show the specific attention to the need for inspection of piping systems that are susceptible to the wall thinning damage. The JSME rules describe the selection of thickness measurement locations such as downstream of piping configurations that produce turbulence, downstream of orifices, downstream of control valves, and they describe the periodic inspections including the first inspection to be scheduled taking the wall thinning rate data at the equivalent locations into consideration. The JSME rules stipulate some available inspection methods such as ultrasonic scanning, radiographic profile, eddy current and potential drop technique. This paper presents outline of the JSME rules including basic philosophy, technical requirements on the inspection and testing practices and the relation with the regulations in Japan.

Abstract:

In Japan, e-Japan planning (Nihon Keizai Shinbun Inc., 2002) is actively moving forward and the infrastructure for a computerized society is being worked on. But, at present it is fumbling and groping to find good ways for a regional community to use IT. This university’s administration department (Administration Science), with information technology (IT) as its base, is pursuing increasing the effectiveness of public administration and management commonality. Namely, that public administration, companies, the public and NPO co-operate with the aim of realizing a “Citizen Centered Society” and an “Active Regional Community. ” This paper introduces “Research into How Building a Regional Community with IT Can be done” (Philosophy) and four actual examples of “Specifically using IT for Trial Information Systems” (Practical Science) implemented by the department’s 4th year student’s graduation research in accordance with the complementary theme “Regional Close-contact Information Systems”. Through this practical research, the students were able to understand the methods for planning and building a system to use IT in a regional community. The task from here on is how to expand the functions in order to deal with new technology and effectively use the system.

Abstract:

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has started a conceptual design of a small-sized HTGR for steam supply and electricity generation (HTR50S) to deploy the high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR) in developing countries at an early date (i.e., in the 2030s). Its reactor power is 50MWt and the reactor outlet temperature is 750°C. It is a first-of-kind of the commercial plant or a demonstration plant of a small-sized HTGR system for steam supply to the industries and the district heating, and electricity generation using a steam turbine. The design philosophy of the HTR50S is to upgrade the performance from the Japanese first HTGR (HTTR) and to reduce the cost for the commercialization by utilizing the knowledge obtained by the HTTR operation and the design of an advanced commercial plant of 600 MWt-class Very High Temperature Reactor (GTHTR300 series). The major specifications of the HTR50S were determined based on its design philosophy. And the targets of the technology demonstration using the HTR50S for the future commercial small-sized HTGR were identified. The system design of HTR50S was performed to offer the capability of electricity generation, cogeneration of electricity and steam for a district heating and industries. The market potential for the small-sized HTGR in the developing countries was evaluated for the application of the electricity, process heat, district heating and pure water production. It was confirmed that there is enough market potential for the small-sized HTGR in the developing countries. This paper described the major specification and system design of the HTR50S and the market potential for the small-sized HTGR in the developing countries.

Abstract:

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has been carrying on development of a SMR for global strategic business and a conceptual design study of HTGR, namely MHR-50/100is having a high inherent safety and a high economical advantage for commercialization with supporting by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). To begin with, a design philosophy of the MHR-50/100is had been set and the next phase, a conceptual design including plant dynamics analysis to investigate operational function and plant controllable performance had been carried out. It has been improved to establish higher safety level to meet the safety requirements after TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Accident on March 11, 2011 in Japan. A market research and a financial analysis to review a feasibility of nuclear business have been studied. Consequently, it has concluded that the large market and the business potential will be prospected. We envisioned that it is effective for acceleration of MHR-50/100is utilization to show wider application of the nuclear energy in general industry as well as electricity generation. In the study cooperative with these users, we have studied on a practical applicability of MHR-50/100is in a typical general industry. A concept of the heat utilization plant consisting of the MHR-50/100is and hydrogen production plant has been developed; a safety concern has been evaluated. This paper reports a summary of a series of the conceptual design studies, and the various evaluation analyses in which we investigated a technical feasibility and a business potential of MHR-50/100is.

Abstract:

Kawasaki Heavy Industries launched the L20A gas turbine, rated at 18MW, in 2001. The design philosophy adopted for the turbine includes a high efficiency transonic axial-flow compressor with eight can-type combustors and a high turbine inlet temperature of 1250 Deg C. This results in a thermal efficiency of 35%, an electric efficiency of 50% for combined cycle power plants and an overall thermal efficiency of 81% for cogeneration systems. In addition, the NOx emissions from the combustor are lower than 23 ppm and the engine has a long service life. These features permit long-term continuous operations under various environmental limitations. Details are presented in 2002-GT-30255.(1) The first commercial unit has been in operation as a daily start and stop cogeneration plant in Kawasaki’s Akashi Works in Japan since October 2001. Accumulated operation hours are 5500 hours and 410 starts as of March 2004. Reliability higher than 99% has been demonstrated during this period. During the shop test and the commercial operation, some additional improvements have been developed for the compressor, turbine and combustor.

Abstract:

In Japan, a lot of efforts have been made on severe accident study, and development and application of the probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) technique. The PSA was applied to the examination of the accident management (AM) plan in the beginning of 1990s and was performed for all the nuclear power plants (NPPs) to evaluate the effects of the AM. Furthermore, the PSA has been performed as part of periodic safety review (PSR) to review the safety of individual plant. In recent years, discussions have started to apply risk information to the safety regulation or safety related activities to improve rationality, accountability and transparency. As the technical foundations, the Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) showed the safety goals and policy toward risk informed decision making (RIDM), and the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) developed guidelines for risk informed regulation (RIR). Consensus standards have been developed in the Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ), the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Japan Electric Association. Especially, the AESJ established the Standards Committee in 1999 and has made several PSA standards. Now, there are seven PSA standards. The most important one is the seismic PSA standard. It was developed ahead of the world as a concrete manual. Lots of illustrations and useful example are included for ease of use and to make decision adequately. There were needs to develop a standard, which provides the basic requirements and specific procedures commonly applicable to respective fields of utilization of RIDM regarding changes in safety related activities. Responding to such needs, an implementation standard has been developed on use of risk information in changing the safety related activities. It stands over individual standards that will be developed in future, and shows the common and basic rules. It requires being consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy, to maintain sufficient safety margins, and to clarify the influence to safety by comparing with some criteria. And it also requires as a final step that a comprehensive decision be made by considering various items, e.g. the defense-in-depth, safety margins, risk indices, and implementation and monitoring program. We will continue to make an effort toward RIDM and develop the standard to assess dominant risk hazards, e.g. fire risk and internal flooding risk. Moreover, it is necessary to develop the standard for individual applications in future.

Abstract:

As Japan is surrounded by the ocean, it has always been one of the key strategies in the nation’s industrial policy making to take advantage of the ocean. The nation’s industrial structure has changed, however, and the emphasis has shifted from the heavy industries to the service industries. How to revitalize the activities related to the ocean and the coastal towns has become an extremely important task. In response to this need, a new development concept has attracted much attention, in which vitalization of a given local area is achieved through utilization of its own resources. Eco-tourism offers a new and sustainable tourism development, incorporating the philosophy of harmony with the indigenous nature and unique culture. The keyword of Sustainable Development is particularly important not only in the revitalization of local industries but also in the preservation of global resources. In this paper, Eco-tourism is considered to be a new tourism industry that gives vitality to local communities. To gain basic data, residents’ views on the local environmental factors are represented in concrete terms through Contingent Valuation Method (C.V.M.). The suburban town area of the Higashi-Geiyo Islands has been selected as the subject of the survey.
