Outline of Final Research Achievements

Based on evolutionary psychology and Luhmanns social system theory, Karl Eibl's text which saw a significant change in the Enlightenment era in the history of western European thought as clues, we developed active discussions on "progress of spirituality", in addition to confirming the role that language and inference apparatus played in "non-world" construction. We are announcing the results of these achievements in the form of open seminars, symposiums, special issue planning of academic journals, and planning of books.
