British conceptions of empire were shaped by political arguments on liberty. This study revisits on Edmund Burke's empire thought in the light of the dilemma of liberty and empire, demonstrating that he struggled to reconcile liberty with empire. And the paper tries to offer his original contribution to history of discourse on empire. Burke regarded British Empire's problems after the Seven Years' War as unknown, and could not rely on the example of Roman, Greek, or even British colonies. In order to find the reason, the paper pays attention to Burke's perception that political sphere in empire of the seas is too vast for power and authority of imperial government to exercise enough. And the perception brought him distinction between state and empire, and plan of colonial self-government.

Since Locke presented Molynuexʼs Problem, many debates concerning it have been generated. Although there have been many arguments concerning it, arguments have been limited in problems of perception. In this paper, I tried to go beyond this limit, by carefully reading Berkeleyʼs arguments concerning Molynuexʼs Problem. How did Berkeley analyze Molyneuxʼs Problem? Many commentators have pointed out a huge influence by William Molynuex on Berkeleyʼs arguments on Molyneux Men (who is born blind). But, Berkeley also thought about the other Molyneux Man in the context of Christianity. This contextual fact shows that Berkeley thought arguments concerning Molyneuxʼs Problem should not be limited in the problem of perception.

The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, the SPG was established in 1701 in order to send the missionaries converting the American heathen. The Missionaries tried to instruct the black slaves in the plantations, however, their masters were against the SPG. The planters thought that the slaves were their property and feared that the baptism would make the slaves free. The SPG insisted that baptism did not make any alteration in civil property and that after being Christians, the slaves would be more obedient to their masters. Although the Church of England admitted the slavery, it is important that they promoted the instruction in the Christian faith for the slaves in the eighteenth century.

Lockeʼs account of the tacit consent presents many problems that scholars have not solved. One of these problems is whether one may become a member of a commonwealth by oneʼs tacit consent or not. Most interpreters think that the tacit consent is not condition of the membership. But this interpretation is not satisfactory, since Locke argues at times not only the express consent but also the tacit consent can make one to be the member. In this paper I try to offer a new solution for this problem. I argue that, firstly, the tacit consent commonly can be inferred as the express consent and, secondly, Pufendorf who has much influence on Locke admits that the tacit consent often plays the same role of the express consent, then Locke himself must accept Pufendorfʼs idea. Therefore, one may become the member by oneʼs tacit consent.

This paper re-appraises L.T. Hobhouseʼs (1864-1929) and J.A. Hobsonʼs (1858-1940) criticisms of British idealist philosopher Bernard Bosanquet (1848-1923). Their critique has been seen as an indication of the theoretical and ideological distance between the new liberalism and British idealism. Comparing their attacks on Bosanquetʼs methodology, theory of will, and state and welfare theories with what Bosanquet actually argued, however, reveals not only the irrelevance of their criticisms but also some fundamental commonalities between these two philosophical movements: they shared an interest in the methodological integration of science and ethics, a focus on the reciprocity between morality and society, and a repudiation of the spirit of materialism, all of which provided the ʻidealist liberalʼ background for the early British welfare state.

This paper aims to clarify and explicate Humeʼs two definitions of “cause.” These definitions are not reductive, since they do not analyze the idea of causation into its parts; nor are they ostensive in that they do not directly point to the core element of causation. Rather, Humeʼs definitions are “causal” and describe situations in which the idea of causation is formed in our minds. I argue that once Humeʼs definitions are understood this way, typical objections to them are off the mark. In addition, I point out that they play a constitutive role in preventing the idea of causation from being more obscure, by excluding wrong analyses of causation that lead to a mistaken conception of causation.

Berkeleyʼs philosophy holds that we have knowledge of our own minds. However it is not very clear what the mind is. I examine the mind from two aspects. First, I examine the epistemological aspect of the mind. I show that for notional knowledge we do not have any notion of mind without ideas. The notional knowledge of mind includes the faculties which ascend from sense, memory, imagination, and reason to intellect. Yet they are only faculties, not substance. Secondly, I examine the metaphysical aspect of mind as substance. Its essence is one, and its one participates in One of To Hen. Through this examination we will have the fundamental principles to reconstruct the metaphysics of mind and God in Berkeleyʼs Philosophy.

In this paper I will discuss the laws of nature according to Humeʼs philosophy, and the problem of accidental regularities which arises. I aim to show, through a fresh interpretation of his theory, that in fact, he was able solve the problem of accidental regularities. To begin with, I will clarify the problem of accidental regularities and criticize the Tom Beauchamp and Alexander Rosenberg interpretation. Then, I will explain the way in which their interpretation fails to solve the problem. Finally, I will give my interpretation, making it possible to distinguish between lawlike and accidental regularities in Humeʼs theory.

The aim of this paper is to examine Hobbesʼs social contract theory from the viewpoint of the moral theory. Hobbes, who was under the influence of skeptical relativism, used the contract theory to provide foundations for common ethical standards. The notion of the social contract expresses the liberalistic idea that all rules are made by those who are free and equal. But his social contract theory based on liberalism leads to a commonwealth, which forces people to be passively obedient, and issues paradoxically in illiberal politics. By focusing on a mystery of this paradox, I would like to bring the characteristic of his social contract theory into relief and clarify the merits and demerits of that as the moral theory.

On Humeʼs account, the scope of the natural virtues(generosity or humanity) is limited to a personʼs family and friends(“narrow circle”). Elsewhere, however, Hume admits that the scope of the natural virtues extends beyond the “narrow circle” to strangers. How, then, does the scope of the natural virtues extend beyond the “narrow circle”? In this paper, I will inquire what expands the scope of the natural virtues, and argue that the scope of the natural virtues is expanded because not only of the principle of sympathy, but also of the “society” and “conversation” in which the humanity of a person is increased and cultivated.

Popperʼs analysis of the conceptual problems of quantum mechanics and the propensity interpretation of probability are reviewed. Although these theories do not prove to be sufficient in resolving issues with regard to quantum mechanics, there exists a modern theory, stochastic mechanics, that validates Popperʼs framework. Two aspects of his idea in particular, are essential for stochastic mechanics to explain quantum mechanics without any conceptual confusion. One is that a whole experimental arrangement determines a propensity field. The other is that propensity is objective and is qualified to be considered as a physical entity. This relationship between Popperʼs philosophy and stochastic mechanics is illustrated with an example of the double-slit experiment, wherein Popperʼs theory is proved.

In her influential paper ʻThe First Personʼ, Elizabeth Anscombe concludes that , despite all syntactic and semantic appearances to the contrary, the first person singular pronoun is not a referring expression. She presents three main arguments. One is the argument intended to show that any account of ʻIʼ as a device of selfreference will either be insufficient or essentially involve circularity. The other two attempt to establish directly that ʻIʼ is not a device of reference. The aim of this paper is to show that all these arguments are mistaken.We should regard ʻIʼ as a referring expression and explain its reference by the ordinary token-reflexive rule or other similar ones.

Smith proposed an equitable maxim requiring that our moral sentiments of merit and demerit should be based on the expected consequence of the action. But in practice, these sentiments vary with the actual consequence. Smith called this ‘irregularity of moral sentiment (hereafter IS)’. In this paper I would like to suggest Smith's possible explanation and justification of IS in reference to the contemporary debates on moral luck and responsibility. Smith can explain IS in terms of epistemic value of consequence of action. Smith's justifications of IS are based on the practice of atonement and the agent's guilt feeling, which admit of both consequential and non-consequential interpretations.

The emergence of self-awareness in the course of human development is indispensably associated with interaction between self and others in terms of Interpersonal Stimuli (Kasuga, 1987), which relates the quality of interaction per se. Self is considered as an organism of functioning system supported by six subsystems as a whole. The dysfunction of self -system as an organism is a precursor of collapse of self- existence. According to system theory, noxious outer stimuli from dysfunctional family and those stemmed from international crisis between country and country jeopardize the self-existence and ultimately world peace. A logic or theory of coexistence is, therefore, the most important problems for philosophers and psychologists to pursue in the information technology (IT) dominating present day world. It is suggested here that Taxonomy of Similarity is significant to establish the theory of coexistence. For the purpose of seeking eternal world peace,the significance of Immanuel Kant’s Eternal Peace Theory (1795), and the correspondence (1932) between Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud concerning” Why human involves in war ? “ have been cited and reevaluated in the present day context to pave the way for a better future.
