Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to develop a model for life and death education in Japan, this study has examined "dialogue" models in the fields of medicine and nursing, as well as philosophy and education. As a result of this research, we have published the article "What is Dialogue: Self-interactivity of Dialogue". We proposed a tentative definition: "Dialogue is an experience in which one's speech is valued and violence is kept away". The four properties of dialogue that assist in this are summarized as follows.1. Discourse is a soloitary act, whereas dialogue cannot be done alone.2. When one engages in dialogue, one is also in dialogue with oneself. (Self-interactive nature of dialogue)3. Dialogue with oneself means thinking, and in dialogue there is "free hesitation" (derived from thinking).4. In a relaxed atmosphere, there is an openness of consciousness toward others and even more so toward oneself.
