| Research Abstract |
We researched at first in the related literature and materials, in order to clarify, how the Japanese and European Philosophers engaged between the two World Wars in intellectual exchange, and what were the results of this interaction. In the second place we tried to reveal, how the Japanese philosophers at the time developed under the influence of this interaciton their own ideas ant thoughts. We found out, that the Japanese philosophers went abroad chiefly in the 1920s, and most new streams of the 20. century such as phenomenology, philosophy of life, philosophical anthropology, existentialism were formed in Germany and France at that time. We made furthermore effort to unravel, what motivated philosophically these new streams of the 20. century, what the Japanese philosophers accepted from these new trends, how they produced based on this outcome their own original thoughts. We discussed thoroughly, what we found out, and made up 14 papers, that we included in our research report.
