In this paper I characterize the method of Wittgenstein's later philosophy as "quasinatural historical consideration" and sketch its important aspects. What is essential to his way of dealing with philosophical problems is to invent imaginary language games in order to compare them with the facts of our real language games. These imaginary language games are invented by modifying various facts of "natural history" of existing language games. They make our own particular ways of understanding our language visible and enable us to survey (übersehen) its grammar. From this perspective we will be able to interpret Wittgenstein's later writings on diverse subjects consistently and properly.

John R. Searle (1998) upholds what he calls "external realism" that there is a real world that exists independently of us, a world of mountains, trees, oceans, molecules, and soon. Some research findings in cognitive science, however, are compelling us to re-examine such a framework. In this essay I insist, from a cognitive science perspective, t hat the so-called external world we perceive as it is, is not independent of us, it is dependent on us in such a manner that those entities such as mountains and oceans are the end results of our perceptual processes, and as such they are in our phenomenal or mental space. It is a world as causes for our perceptual processes that is considered to be independent of us, though we have no direct, empirical access to the world as such.

The first aim of this paper is to explicate the intention of a picture which was found on the introduction Web page of emeritus Koji Nakatogawa at Hokkaido University and which visualizes inference from seeing smoke at some place to the existence of fire there. It turns out that the picture is influenced from a book whose authors include mathematician F. W. Lawvere and that the intention is clarified by using Lawvere's elementary topos theory. The second aim is to point out a conflict between Nakatogawa's view that "static" set theory is opposed to "dynamic" category theory and Lawvere's conception of the topos of abstract sets and that of variable sets.

The university has strong relationship with philosophy from the perspective of “Theory of science" ("Die Lehre von der Wissenschaft"). In this paper I investigate the history of Faculty of Philosophy considering the situation and reform which the Japanese universities are faced with. At that time, I take much notice of the history of (early) modern German university. Considering the expertise of I. Kant concerning the organization about university, we can understand the relationship between universities and political power at the time of Germany. In addition, we can see the influence of the ideal of the establishment of the Berlin University (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) on the Japanese universities and educations on philosophy or liberal arts.
