| Research Abstract |
Firstly, we confirmed our society cannot avoid the issue of ‘distributive justice', and therefore, we need ‘philosophy of welfare' or ‘theory of happiness' on expected human life that former social scientific research on the matter has neglected. We also realized that this kind of research should be an interdisciplinary with economics, ethics, philosophy and etc.
Secondly, our investigation leads us to the fact that we inevitably face with utilitarianism, when we characterize modern society as a commercial society or an economic society, because we need to presuppose the ‘natural desire' and the ‘basic need' of economic agents that compose society. This is because our research has rather focuses on Bentham.
Thirdly, we have continuously promoted globalization of research and sending academic messages from Japan. In fact, we opened four times of international seminars out of ten seminars by inviting a dozen of foreign scholars from Britain, United States, Canada, France, Italy, and Korea. This seems rare in the field of humanities and social sciences. We will continue to do this kind of activities for stimulating dispatching Japanese origin research accomplishment.
Lastly, it is realized that we have to investigate the following two significant agenda that our research has not treated enough. They are (a)the evaluation of current orthodox economic theory on distributive justice, (b)some actual proposals of proper distributive policy that would realize ‘justice'. In addition, we should have given opportunities to young scholars for presenting their research results.
