| Research Abstract |
The purpose of our project was to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the concept of mind. For this purpose, we investigated the relation of the concept of mind to other philosophical concepts, such as language, action, body etc. To achieve our purpose, we have opened several seminers during the term of our project. In these seminars, each member's study was examined form wider point of view. Particular themes of our project were as follows. (A) the historical study concerning the concept of mind in ancient Greek philosophy. In this study, NAKAZAWA investigated the Platonic concept of mind, and its relation to Socratic Eudaimonism and his concept of action. (The result of this study appears in our report.) And TANAKA made researches on the relation of mind and existence in the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle. (B) the research and analysis about the modification of this concept in the medieval philosophy. HANAI pointed out the close relation between the concepts of mind in the ancient-medieval philosophy and modern philosophy. (C) the study of the Cartesian concept of mind and its historical meaning (SAKAI). (D) the modern approach, esp.form the viewpoint of the philosophy of language and the philosophy of action. In this study, YAMADA analyzed this concept from the viewpoint of the causal theory of action. And NAKAGAWA studied Strawson's theory of supposition and its meaning in the philosophy of mind. (The result of this study appears in our report.)
