In this paper, I would like to discuss the meaning of “integrity” based on Kazuo Inamori’s philosophy and deeds. Integrity has two meanings, honesty and sincerity, both of which are emphasized in Inamori’s philosophy. In this paper, I will focus on integrity as honesty.Inamori’s philosophy accentuates the importance of practicing primitive morality, whether it is honesty or any other virtue, and not just knowing it. However, there is one episode in which, Inamori professes, he has lied. The story goes that when Kyocera was still a small company with about 100 employees, major manufacturers approached him about delivering a difficult product that the company had never made before, and he pretended to be able to do it and got the order.By examining whether or not, or in what sense, Inamori lied in this episode, I will clarify the multifaceted nature and depth of integrity as honesty. Specifically, the following two points are suggested: (1) In terms of the past and the present, it is important to distinguish between “not lying” and “not telling the truth” with regard to facts, the former being essential for honesty. (2) In terms of the future, it is not necessarily dishonest to promise something that is difficult to achieve within one’s current capabilities, and in fact such overextension is vital for the growth of the company, but once a promise has been made, you must be faithful to fulfil it to assure integrity.
