Law school and medical school in the USA are what we call professional schools where graduate students work. These two professional schools have similarities in both their educational systems and problems. Generally speaking, undergraduate students in the USA study general education courses in colleges or universities and then select a major which is specialized but not professional. General education in the USA is rather different from "ippan kyoiku" in Japan. Students in Japan study "ippan kyoiku" without reference to their own Majous, less of them,so students have no motivation to accomplish it. they are not very interested in "ippan kyoiku", including philosophy. Philosophy education is now in crisis. We are facing the reformation of college education. Medical schools are not free from the changes. I propose that this Symposium should suggest a new model of the education of philosophy in the new curriculum of Medical schools in Japan. That suggestion should have some effects on the reformation going on.
