Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research has focused on some educational precedents and policy debates about educational injustice in Canada and the U.S. to sort out such policy debates, to offer those democratic interpretations, and to examine a deliberative democratic theory as a theoretical framework. This study clarified “reciprocity” in accommodating value conflicts throughout the case study. It made clear that Amy Gutmann’s and John Dewey’s deliberative theories had a significance as institutional thoughts of “continuities between theories and practices” and “accommodations of values” in a culturally diverse society, while education policies derived from deliberative democracies still have practical problems because of those controversial elements.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
北米における「公教育と宗教」をめぐる先行的な価値調整の在りようは、日本においても議論が高まるシティズンシップ教育やLGBTQ教育政策や性教育に対する「信教の自由」の射程を示唆し、関連する議論の交通整理と政策論争の活性化に資する点で社会的意義を有する。その際、教育判例の法理的ではなく政治哲学的な考察の提示は、少数派の権利保障や価値調整を、政策論争の次元においてもいっそう引き受ける民主的な方途の開拓として学術的意義を有する。熟議デモクラシー論の理論的検討は、通例の哲学的基礎づけではなく、教育政策にまつわる問題の解決度に応じて理論の鍛え直しを図る点で、独自の学術的意義を有する。
