Outline of Final Research Achievements

I researched the influence of philosophers such as Fichte, Schelling, and Schultze on Kant’s “Opus postumum”. By reading those texts, I investigated Kant's philosophical relationship with Fichte, whom Kant never referred, and Schelling, whom he mentioned only twice in “Opus postumum”, and with “Aeneidemus”, which he repeatedly mentioned.
The results revealed that Kant had negative views of Fichte's, Schelling's and Schulze's though.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

『日本カント研究』や『フィヒテ研究』に拙論が掲載されることにより、若手研究者も『オプス・ポストゥムム』に言及する者が増え、後進の育成に寄与したと思料できる。
