Research Abstract |
The main aim of this research project is to explore and formulate an adequate conception of 'kyosei', with attention to the trends of the contemporary Western political theories of liberal nationalism and multiculturalism. 'Kyosei' is a popular social ideal that Japanese people tend to highly evaluate, meaning to be 'harmonious co-existence of different people, cultures and nations'. If we succeed in articulating a notion of 'kyosei' based on Japanese cultural resources, we can derive persuasive arguments for the value of various social ideals such as 'human rights', 'international understanding,' and 'equal treatment' from that notion, which are readily acceptable to Japanese people generally. In this study, we aim to consider how these normative social ideals should be explained in school education and social education in Japanese society, in association with a notion of 'kyosei'.
