Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to provide a theoretical framework for the Kantian ethics based on the following two claims. First, the theory of affective-based trust offers the answers to the classical problems of the Kantian Ethics. Second, the concept of trust is coherent with the idea of autonomy, which is the core of the Kant’s philosophy. These two researches are published as the “The Transdisciplinary Research on Trust”(2018, Keiso Shobo).
