The fieldwork in medical philosophy aims at the innovation of the whereabouts of the meaning occurrence and the reasoning process. The fieldworker searches for the structure of the daily life of oneself who has lived for a long time. He reflects on the meaning system of his daily life, and searches for a contact point with some different meaning system. The fieldwork in medical philosophy is inward. It is to search the base layer of the research object and the researcher. It is to clear identities which are the standard of the value judgment. The researcher must avoid by the existing organization, the part and the name from what he thinks about with the medical spot and the member. It is a problem like a principle whether what it is, and depends on the meaning system. Research reports can often be warped by the readers' meaning structure. It is a political problem. If the researcher controls his work in accordance with the existing definition with the medical treatment, nursing, doctor, nurse etc., it will mean the death of thinking .

Preface There two main factors of the European metaphysics of philosophical thinking: the first has been to think through experience even though the ideal thoughts should have a main position, the second has been to seek to know the self, just as Socrates did. However the Japanese researchers do not necessarily have such academical tendencies, when they try to read and understand European philosophies. Clinical philosophy, the elements of which should be the experience and the self, can be constructed and practiced by us in every day iife. 1. Death and the Dying The German sociological researcher Franco Rest asserts that the concept of death is unthinkable and only the concept of dying is thinkable. Because dying is the terminal part of an entire life. But this is not correct. Through ideal histories of care we can see that life and death are complementary. We must treat such a complementarity as a most important idea. when we think of what expenence is. 2. the Existential-Romantic Medicine Oliver Sacks. whose book Awakenings is very famous, proposes a existential-romantic medicine. He says. " this is the rationale of an 'existence' therapy: not to instruct but to inspire to inspire with art to combat the inert. to inspire with the personal and living, and, in the directest sense possible to awaken and quicken ". Existential-romantic medicine is directed to the personality, the freedom, and the identilication of the patients in the dialogue between the living I and I through the daily experience ofthe daily life. 3. Clinical Philosophy The clinical philosophy may be the tradition of the European metaphysics. At the same time it should be the possibility of thinking about human living concrete and the power of the healing.

I. The Concept of the Diakonia It is important that we research the hospice care from the viewpoint of the deaconess movements, when we think of the care especially. The origin of the concept "care" can be found in the old Greek word "diakonein" in The New Testament. The etymology of "diakonein" is "to serve at table". i. Table The table symbolizes openheartness and a hospitality just as the Latin word "hospitium". This elemental idea is the open-minded dialogue with the place. ii. Meal The meal symbolizes life and the death. The eating means to sacrifice another living for oneself. The meal points to the unity of life and death symbolically. One life should be dependent upon another death and one death should support another life. iii. Obedience "To serve" symbolizes Obedience. The carer obeys the cared-for one according to the life which the former gives to the latter. And the carer learns from the cared-for one and receive the wisdom from that person who die. iv. The Principle of the Diakonia The concept of the diakonia is built of the following elements: the open-minded dialogue with the place, the unity of the life and death and giving life and receving wisdom. The ideas of the diakonia are concentrated upon the practice of Jesus Christ. Jesus said by himself that he was a deacon. The practice of diakonia in imitatio Christ is in The New Testament. The New Testament the be cared one should be the poor. II. The Deaconess Societies and their Care The practices of The deakoness are found from the ancient age to the recent times. But the first official society is founded by Theodor Fliedner in Kaiserswerth 1836. The most difficult problem of them has been the conflict between the religiose idea and the technics of the care. III. The Separation of the Deaconess Movements and the social Welfare The deaconess movements spreaded rapidly and widely to the Northern Europe. The ideas of the diakonia spreded also upon The church voluntary works in Denmark. And the elemental thoughts of the diakonia has been developed to the social welfare.
