The study of religion, dealing as it does with the problems of finitude in human beings such as mortality, temporality, susceptibility and selfishness, has rarely recognized one of the most important problems of finitude: that of the distinction between the sexes. In my view, like many of the various disciplines these days, it reflects the way of thinking that “man” is the only sex and has ignored the problem of the other sex. As a result, the religious viewpoint has come to be a one-sided, male-dominated affair. Thus, the study of religion, though it seeks to overcome the problems of finitude, has itself unwittingly fallen into the pitfall of finitude by ignoring a distinction between the sexes. In order to restore religion to its original wholeness, I think it is necessary to reconsider the meaning of the distinction between the sexes in religion. In this essay I consider the problem from two aspects, the theoretical and the historical. In the theoretical, I discuss two types of human religiosity, the male and the female, and also elucidate two types of religion, the maternal and the patriarchal. In the historical, I analyze the religions which have appeared in history according to the above categories.

量的研究法と質的研究法の両者を含む混合研究法は,研究の妥当性・信頼性を高めるとともに,量的研究と質的研究のパラダイム論争に一つの方向を与える第3の研究法として発展してきた. 混合研究法を用いる研究者は,実証主義と構成主義という2つの異なるパラダイムを持つ量的研究と質的研究を併用するという点で,その哲学的前提について無関心ではいられない.現在,混合研究法のパラダイムとして最も支持されるのは,実用主義であるが,弁証法も有力である. 混合研究法の分類については,現在,統一されたものはないが,混合研究法の表記法については,共通のものが開発されている.著者は,混合研究法として分類されるには,質的・量的研究のいずれも,完全な研究として示されることが必要であることを提案した. 日本看護科学会誌の最近10年間の混合研究法を検索した結果,それ以前の10年間の検索結果とほとんど差がないことが示された.今後の混合研究法の展望として,一つの研究の中で2つの方法を相互参照するだけではなく,異なる研究間での相互交流が期待される.

It may sound strange to call Nishida Kitaro a philosopher of science, because he is generally known as a philosopher of religion or a metaphysician. However, in Nishida’s later ten years, his speculation was devoted to studying problems in the philosophy of science. We can see tracks of his struggle for foundation of science in his seven volumes of Philosophical Papers. Nishida’s lifetime(1870~1945)was in the middle of “the crisis of science,”which included the discovery of Russell’s paradox in mathematics, the rise of quantum mechanics in physics, and the controversy between mechanism and vitalism in biology. It is interesting that Nishida identifies himself with heterodox positions in such a controversial situation of sciences, namely Brouwer’s intuitionism in mathematics, Bridgman’s operationalism in physics, and Haldane’s organism in biology. The reason for Nishida’s sympathy with these opinions is deeply related to his later philosophy founded on the key concept of “acting intuition,”which means intuitive grasp of an object through bodily action as poiesis. As Nishida has stated, “Every conceptual knowledge is stemmed from the historical reality grasped by acting intuition and must be proved on this ground.” From such a viewpoint, he criticizes the law of excluded middle in logic following Brouwer’s analysis of the π-sequence and evaluates the development of quantum physics as “genuine returning to the intuition of bodily self.” We may call Nishida’s philosophy of sciencein his later stages “anti-realism”because his view of science does not presuppose an ideal scientific world independent of scientists’activities. To put it another way, the natural world is not furnished with an unchanging and everlasting structure, but is malleable to the various operations including scientific measurements and experiments. This position is expressed best by Nishida when he quotes de Broglie’s following words: “as de Broglie said, before analysis by prism there are seven colors in the colorless ray. But they exist in the sense that if we make an experiment, they come out.”From this passage, we realize that the structure of reality itself is involved in the historical formation by acting intuition and bodily poiesis. Nishida also characterizes his position as “radical positivism.” Nishida’s philosophy of science occupies an indispensable part of his later philosophy, as stated above. However, his achievements of grounding sciences have been unjustly neglected. If we intend to understand the core of Nishida’s philosophy as a whole, we must revaluate his philosophy of science from a contemporary viewpoint.

Charles Peirce developed his cosmological system in the series of articles published in The Monist from 1891 to 1893. Peirce constructed his system on the foundation of the three doctrines of “Tychism”, “Synechism” and “Agapism”. Of these three doctrines the least known theory is “Agapism”. In this paper, I try to present the material necessary for the understanding of this doctrine. Peirce’s agapism or the theory of evolutionary love is a curious mixture of his criticism of Darwinism and his sympathy to Henry James, Sr.’s Swedenborgian theology. He contends that the evolution of the universe cannot be accounted for by means of Darwinian logic of chance. It is his contention that the process of cosmological evolution should be interpreted as the work of divine creative love, whose essence is to let the creatures be independent from, but at the same time, return to harmony with the creator. This doctrine of creation as evolution is adopted by Peirce and reinterpreted into a complex doctrine about the interactive relationship between mind and matter. The resultant picture of the evolution of the universe is that of getting more and more lawful but reasonable.

近年, 科学史と科学哲学の交流, 融合が進行し, 科学哲学 (科学方法論) の正当性を評価する基準としての科学史の役割が強調されるようになってきている。例えば, Lakatosは「科学史なき科学哲学は空虚であり, 科学哲学なき科学史は盲目である。……競合する二つの科学方法論は, 科学の歴史によって評価することができる。」と述べている。こうして科学哲学の一つの新しい方向として, 科学の実際の歴史的形成過程とうまく適合した科学哲学が求められるようになり, 理論変化や理論比較の問題が科学哲学の一つの焦点となりつつある。科学哲学のこうした新しい方向を代表する一つの潮流として, Hanson, Kuhn, Feyerabendらの「革命主義」の立場がある。革命主義においては, 科学の実際の歴史という「事実」に基づいて, 科学の累積的進歩が否定され, 科学理論の歴史的変化の過程が不連続であるとされる。科学の実際の歴史的場面では, 科学理論の選択が論理や実験的テストといった客観的規準によって規定されてはいないと主張されている。革命主義のこうした主張の根底には, 科学理論間の共約不可能性という考え方がある。本稿ではこの共約不可能性の問題を取り上げ, その内容や意義を明確にすると共に批判的検討を試みる。

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.

The microscopes have been showing us the invisible entities since their invention. The magnified images with the optical microscope convinced us of their existence, such as blood capillary and the cell nuclei during cell divisions. And the electron microscope visualized viruses that people had doubted their existence. This paper explores the history of observations of dislocations in crystals with the microscopes from the 1940s to the 1960s to show how microscopists visualized the dislocations to verify the existence of dislocations. The visualizations of dislocations with the Transmission Electron microscope in 1956 had a critical role in the acceptance of the reality of dislocations. Also, this historical case would offer an opportunity to analyze the relationship between representations and existence.
