Richard Rorty is a philosopher who advocates pragmatism and anti-foundationalism, and also known as a philosopher who insists the need for the American left to regain its pride in the nation. He called the American left in early 20th century as “Reformist Left.” Rorty argues that the Reformist Left has a kind of faith as a “civic religion” to America and democracy. This term evokes the concept of “civil religion” that focuses on the religious in public. What is “civic religion” and what can be said in compared to “civil religion?” Through this consideration, this paper aims at clarifying the point of how Rorty characterizes the democracy in America. “Civic religion” is common with “civil religion” in that it is not based on a specific religious sect. However, there is a difference in that “civic religion” does not assume the assumption of “god” or religious faith. In a general sense, it is not regarded as religion, but as a custom or culture shared by individuals in private. In other words, Rorty's “civic religion” does not has a specific relationship or direct influence with the certain religion, but a democratic culture, values, customs, and so on that are shared in American society. It is a statement of people's belief to “a way of life” and “pride” that arises from these convictions, and is considered to be a form of belief that is something which expressed in the term “religion.” On the other hand, Rorty's “civic religion” can't consistently keep the distinction between public and private. Because it could not ignore the process in which American democratic culture and values were formed under the influence of Christian values. Why does Rorty emphasize secularism, and use the term and concept of “civic religion” which emphasize the aspect of religion? As the reason, it is thought that the influence from Dewey is so important for Rorty. While referring to Dewey, Rorty emphasizes the pseudo-religious functions and beliefs of the individual as shared cultures and customs rather than the certain religious things. It became clear that “civic religion” does not consistently maintain the anti-foundationalism public-private distinction. Therefore, it can be said that from now on, it will be necessary to read from Rorty's debate on democracy from a different point of view from the anti-foundationalism that he maintained.

Social capital can increase policy satisfaction by working collaboration and government network management. Trust in government as “Linking Social Capital,” network of interactions among residents, and activities of associations and neighborhood associations are important. From this research, the impact of social capital on local governance leading higher policy satisfaction was clarified by the analysis in Tokyo metropolitan area.

According to the representative literature (Botsman and Rogers 2010; Gansky 2010; Rifkin 2014), some socio-cultural factors are thought to have affected strongly the recent global diffusion of the sharing economy. In this paper, in terms of economic sociology, we took up three factors that are weakening in materialism, the rise in eco-consciousness, and the degree of social capital. And then we verified the relationship between those three factors and the intention to use the sharing economy services. The data (N = 1,609) from the consumer survey conducted between September and October 2016, in Tokyo metropolitan area were used for the verification. Our results indicated that, contrary to what was considered in the previous studies, the materialistic attitude prompted the intention to use. Eco-consciousness was also positively correlated with the intention. Concerning the social capital, while networks and norms both had a positive relation to the intention to use, the trust had statistically nothing to do with it.

Under the period of economic growth, Japanese government took an institutionalization based psychiatric medical treatment policy. In 1970s, when Japanese society had a strong prejudice to mental disabilities, the small-scale workshop activities started, and the number of the small- scale workshop for mental disabilities reached to more than 1700 in early 2000s. The activity greatly contributed the localization of the people with mental disabilities. The study focus to the pioneer generation who started the small-scale workshop activities with no subsidy and supporting system by the government, and try to clarify the unique points of the activity by the interview with 20 pioneer generation people. The data was acquired by the semi-structured styled interviews and was analyzed using the Modified Grounded Theory Approach. The result shows that the pioneer generation were voluntarily immersed in the activity by the deep understandings and empathy to the psychiatric disabilities and the conflict between pioneer generations and local residents, which drove the recursive and continuous cycle of the activities.

The idea of liberalism, including Keynesian-type welfare state model, has not regarded “meaningful work” as a target of distribution. However, I would like to show a path to respond to this distribution problem of “meaningful work” from a liberal perspective. First, I shall point out that Marxists' ideas face some difficulties of the distribution of meaningful work. Second, I shall examine J. Rawls' and M. Walzer's responses to meaningful work distribution. Third, I shall raise my viewpoint of liberalism through examination of the concept of meaning. Last, I shall clarify policy implications of my standpoint. Through the above, I would like to show that a certain type of liberalism can propose how we can distribute “meaningful work.”

Building upon the renewal of business ethics form the perspective of Thomistic Natural Law Theory in the wake of “The Vocation of the Business Leader,” this essay offers a contemporary explanation of business leadership. The missions of business Leaders are to engage the global economic and financial world on the basis of human dignity and the common good, supported by the spirit of solidarity and the principle of subsidiarity. This reflection offers business leaders three practical principles, (1) the principle of meeting the needs of the world through the creation and development of goods and services, (2) the principle of organising good and productive work, (3) the principle of creating sustainable wealth and distributing it justly. The author confirms that these principles comport with the management theories of two entrepreneurs in Japan, Kazuo Inamori (1932- )who was a founder of KYOCERA Corporation and Masao Ogura (1924~2005)who created strategic system of door-to-door parcel delivery service, TAKYUBIN.

According to Thomas Aquinas, it is proper to justice, as compared with the other virtues, to direct man in his relations with others. And the relations with others may happen in two ways: first as regards his relation with individuals, and secondly as regards his relations with others in general. In the case of the latter, it is identified with the whole community, and it is evident to that community as parts to a whole. So others as individuals may be referable to others in general, and all acts of virtue can pertain to justice, in so far as it directs man to the common good. On the other hand, according to Martha C. Nussbaum, we need to face the issues of justice involved in our treatment of people with physical and mental impairments, of all world citizens, and of nonhuman animals. Her conclusion is not that we should reject Rawls's theory, but that we should keep working on alternative theories, that is, we should take a capabilities approach. The capabilities approach takes its start from the Aristotelian/Marxian conception of the human being as a social and political being, who finds fulfillment in relations with others. And the good of others is not just a constraint on this person's pursuit of her own good; it is a part of her good. In the expansion of the meaning of others and the common good, there may be the possibility of Aquinas’s theory of justice.

This study aims to explore the factors affecting the financial self-efficacy of children on the basis of the survey data of 910 sixth-graders. The variables to be examined concern parental involvement for children's financial socialization, conversation between parents and children, children's financial literacy and so forth. The OLS regression models are estimated by gender in order to clarify the gendered structure of financial socialization. The way in which parents give pocket money and the manner to manage pocket money have no statistical significance in neither male nor female models; parental disciplinary practices at financial behaviors have no impact on children's financial self-efficacy. While none of the types of conversations between parents and children is statistically significant in male models, female models show a significant figure only on the conversation about one's own career expectation. There exists gender difference in the influence of the degree of understanding of economic terms as well. In sum, the results suggest that financial socialization processes through which children's financial self-efficacy is facilitated have a different structure by gender under the influence of gender role consciousness in home environment.

Consumer society has been discussed for a long time in the theoretical framework of a dichotomy between consumerism and anti-consumerism. Consumerism can be defined as personal mentalities and/or social trends actively pursuing quantitative expansion or qualitative sophistication of consumption activities. Now the existence of the third stance for consumption is pointed out theoretically. It is called non-consumerism, which is characterized by having the social effect to stabilize consumer lifestyle. The aim of this paper is to empirically demonstrate that cleanliness has some stabilizing effects on consumer lifestyle through estrangement from purchasing activities. So, in this regard, cleanliness can be viewed as one of the key factors carrying non-consumerism effects. The data from a survey of consumer life in the 21th century, which was conducted in the Tokyo area in 2016, was used for both a multiple regression analysis and a logistic regression analysis. The both analyses use two cleanliness scales called “organizing cleanliness” and “averting cleanliness” as explanatory variables. The result of analyses suggests that organizing cleanliness has certain, albeit limited, effects in stabilizing consumer lifestyle.
