Certain kinds of neurological disorder which affect corporeal awareness and proprioception seem to indicate that one's body has a psychological dimension besides the material dimension. In this paper, examining cases of phantom limb and asomatognosia, we confirm that the body consists of two dimensions, the material and the psychological. From this viewpoint it is possible to say that the ordinary state of the body is an overlap of these two dimensions. Secondly, we seek to clarify the contents of embodied knowledge by re-examining the notion of body schema. Body schema is a term that appeared in neurology, which has been used to explain the subconscious schematic process underlying proprioception and corporeal awareness. The philosophy of Merleau-Ponty developed and extended the notion of body schema and successfully described the mechanism of one's habitual actions. Here we see the budding discussion on embodied knowledge. The contents of embodied knowledge are (1) subconsciously recognizing the spatial relation between one's body and surroundings, (2) expanding corporeal awareness to the end of instruments through repeated practice.

Unusually, we can not recognize Qi energy which is assumed in oriental medicine or oriental philosophy with ordinary observation system. For this reason, Qi energy had scarcely been regarded as serious problem. From a Quantum mechanical point of view which has similar way of thinking to that of oriental philosophy, Qi energy is considered to influence quantum wave function nonlocally. This idea is opposed to the present outlook of natural science. Therefore it is difficult to research Qi energy in present science. Conversely elucidation of Qi energy has a possibility of changing viewpoint of natural science.

私たちは独立した個人としてだけではなく、さまざまな共同体の成員として生活している。私たちの共同体の中には、老い、病、障害、失業、死別などさまざまな困難に遭遇する人たちがいる。とくに一人暮らしの高齢者は、心身面、経済面のそうした困難を複合的に抱えている。一方、現代社会においては、いついかなる運命が押し寄せ、自らも社会的弱者に位置づけられるのではないかという不安、恐怖が蔓延している。そこで本稿は、個人と共同体という観点から、周囲の者は悲嘆に苦しむ人たちに寄り添っていくための姿勢をどのように見出していけばいいのだろうかという問題に取り組む。個人と共同体の問題については、ドイツの二人の現象学の哲学者マックス・シェーラー(Max Scheler)とエディット・シュタイン(Edith Stein)が注目すべき考察を展開している。両者は、近代文明以降個人主義が台頭してきた中、それに危機感を感じ、正面から共同体のあり方の問題に取り組んだ。個人を重視する社会と、共同体の成員であることを重視する社会の狭間にあって、そのバランスをとるための共同体論を目論む。本稿は、「自分との関係」に関するシェーラーの哲学的分析、及び「他者との関係」に関するシュタインの哲学的分析に注目し、そこから悲嘆者に寄り添うための姿勢を私たちが持つための示唆を得ることを目的とする。

The purpose of this paper is to consider Cerebral Palsy as an experience of a body lived in the world, but not as a "lesion" that should be cure. A person with cerebral palsy can not articulate each muscle and region of his/her body, thus tonus on one part of muscle causes hyperkinesia of all part of a body. This paper uses phenomenology as a analytical frame work. This paper specifically uses the concept of "actual layer" and "potential layer" in a body defined by Merleau-Ponty. According to Merleau-Ponty, in order to make an intentional action of body actual, a body needs to make axis of the body that support it' s intentional action potential. From this point of view, potential layer stands out on the front of a body movement for cerebral palsy, while it goes down to the background of a body movement for a non-disability. The tremble and blur on a body of cerebral palsy is a the TIME gap from when a body tries to articulate its actual body like he/she raises his/her foot along with the stable course of movement. By this gap, a body try to swell out potential layer in body-space and create the Ground. The Ground supports organic synthesis in body-space that has been organized before it is articulated. It implies a body with cerebral palsy closes down toward the axis of a body and then tries to install the stable Ground in a body-space because potential layer presses a body-space.

Purpose: In acupuncture and moxibustion medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion do operation at acupoints (static acupoints) and reactive points (dynamic acupoints) in the skin. In the present study, focusing on the skin, we evaluated the influences of acupuncture on the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and hydrogen ion concentration (pH) in epidermal local. Methods: The study was carried out in volunteers and patient groups. Acupuncture was performed at non-acupoints, static acupoints and dynamic acupoints. Changes in ORP, pH, and Aging Index (AI) after these parameters were evaluated. Results: No significant change was observed after acupuncture at non-acupoints and static acupoints. ORP significantly decreased, but pH showed no significant changes following acupuncture of Cu and Zn at dynamic acupoints. Conclusion: Acupuncture of Cu and Zn at dynamic acupoints may have changed an electric potential in local epidermis, resulting in a change of ORP and AI.

オリンピズムは近代オリンピックの復活を提唱したクーベルタンの造語である。造語は1962年の大島邦訳書『ピエール ド クベルタン オリンピックの回想』によれば「オリンピック主義」と直訳されている。他方で2015年版の『オリンピック憲章』は今日的なオ リンピズムの解釈として二つの基本的な指標を提示している。ひとつは「肉体と意志と精神」のすべてにおいてバランスのよい結合を目ざす「生き方の哲学」であって、他は「スポーツを文化と教育へ融合させる」ために「生き方の創造」を探求するものである。ところで1936年のクーベルタンは「私のオリンピズムは、まだ、任務の半分を象徴しているのにすぎない」と書き遺している。本稿では、クーベルタンのその最後の希望に焦点を当てて、 またジャーナリストとしての大島鎌吉が関与してきた日本におけるオリンピック運動を点検することにおいて、オリンピック運動の理念「オリンピズム」における核心的な課題について検討してみる。

Numerous examples of oral tales and other forms of ancient literature from various countries have referred to the existence of "Ajfia Chakra", a third eye, suggesting that human beings once had the power of "clairvoyance" the ability to see letters and objects without the use of eyesight. In the 20th century, such scientists as Tomokichi Fukuirai of Japan, J. B. Rhine of the United States, and Chen Shouliang of China conducted serious research into this area. While their studies affirmed the existence of this phenomenon, due to difficulties in repeatability and the possibility of unfair manipulation, these studies continue to be a subject of debate. Some other studies have suggested that clairvoyance, where subjects can perceive letters or objects written on paper that is folded or rolled up and placed in thier hand or ear, does not exist. We have sought to prove that this type of clairvoyance does indeed exist through the results of two test subjects, T. T. and Z. W. In 35 trials, T. T. was correct 97.1% of the time. Subject Z. W. participated in only three double-blind tests, but was able to correctly answer all three times. The probability of correct answers by chance is extremely low (3.7x10^<-8>). We hope that these test results will serve as a first step in putting to rest the continuing debate regarding the existence of clairvoyance.

The middle region of the breast and the middle region of the forehead of a subject were irradiated by artificial external qi emitted from a qi-generator made of a 80kHz quartz resonance system proposed previously by the author, where this artificial external qi was named EQR (emission from quartz resonance). Changes in human body impedance were investigated before, during and after the irradiation by the EQR. It was found that BP (before polarization) currents show statistically significant increases (p<0.05) which suggest increases in body fluids flows, while magnetic irradiations as a control experiment do not show statistically significant increases in the BP currents, where each BP current means the peak current which appears immediately after a square wave impulse of voltage is applied to the human body.

近年、坐禅に興味のある人が増え、実際に坐禅指導を受けようとする人も増えているが、坐禅を行う際に適切な指導者を見つけることは比較的困難である。これでは、潜在的な坐禅体験希望者に対応できない状態である。本研究では、このような問題を解決するために、ICT (Information and Communication Technology) を活用することによって坐禅を遠隔指導することが可能であるかについて検討する。従来の対面による坐禅指導とビデオ通信システムを利用した遠隔指導を比較し、検証を行った。被験者の生体反応を記録し、心拍変動( HRV) と脳波( EEG) を指標として分析を行った。結果として、対面指導と遠隔指導に、有意な差はなく、坐禅を遠隔によって指導することが可能であることが確認できた。さらに、坐禅の熟達者における心拍変動と脳波における相互関係についても検討を行った。その結果、熟達者の坐禅に於いては、心身はリラックス状態であるが、脳は活動的になっていることが解析結果によって明らかとなった。

This study investigates attitudes toward basic standing posture in Ballet and Kendo. Attitudes concerning the body by supecialists in both areas are desclibed on a questionnaire. This deta was reviewed and classified according to defferences and communalities between the two. The results suggests that both arts show several similarities on the human body. In the present day we draw a line between dance and budo. It has been assumed that Ballet has nothing to do with Kendo. But this study finds many similarities between the two in regards to sensibilities toward standing position.

The author, working as a midwife, has seen many mysterious phenomena pertaining to natural childbirth. According to Shinto, a native religion in Japan, "Musubi" is a god involved in creating life. This paper presents ten cases of mystical experiences of childbirth the author has witnessed, and examines the power of Musubi in childbirth in view of the Musubi theory of Hirata Atsutane, a Japanese classical and theological scholar in the late Edo period. In all these cases mothers found a relationship between the birth of their children and the death of their family or of their relatives. According to Hirata's ideas of death and reincarnation, the soul of the dead as well as that of the baby to be born are watching his or her family on the earth from their world beyond. This is testified in this paper. Testified also is the existence of strong links among the souls of the dead, of the coming baby and of their family or relatives. Therefore, the author believes that the function of Musubi in childbirth is to link souls, and a new life created through linking of souls is the incarnation of Musubi himself, who links other souls in turn. By recognizing the importance of this soul linking, we come to the understanding that we are able only to live through our relationship with other people. This realization leads us to find the meaning of living.

Taireido, literally meaning "the way of Great Spirit," was an alternative kind of psychotherapy which flourished from 1916 to 1929. Its founder, Tanaka Morihei, was once a poor working student with a nationalistic inclination. He tried to make a direct appeal to the emperor in 1903 to persuade him to take a military action to Russia. This event made him famous nationwide, but at the same time he was obliged to live in seclusion for a while. In 1905 Tanaka had a strange experience of automatic movement after he completed 90 days fast, and got a supernormal power of healing. After this experience his life was divided between political activities and psychotherapy movement, and Taireido he started was a combination of a school of hypnotism, a new religious movement, and a political body. In this paper I chronicled the biography of Tanaka Morihei, analyzed hypnotic, religious and political elements in Taireido, and discussed the relationship between his metaphysical and political thoughts. In conclusion, his theory on a kind of inner spirituality corresponds to his political program, and his worship of Tairei (Great Spirit) is related to his view of the modern nation of Japan.
