Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study clarifies the Christian traditional exegesis of the Song of Songs, which has not only long interacted creatively with, but more recently reacted critically against the allegorical interpretation developed by Origen of Alexandria. The essential point of this study is to show that desire, passion, and other bodily moments are part of the rational subject, and that the topic of desire shifts from a bifurcated anthropology (as reason vs desire) to an intrinsically unified, multi-layered, and dynamic anthropology, by interpreting Gregory of Nyssa’s Homilies on the Song of Songs.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
神学/教父学/哲学の先行研究を領域横断的に再考することによって、身体に起因する欲求や情念を真の自己たる知性によって抑制するという従来の二元論的解釈図式から、知性を超えた不可知の神との合一における欲求、情念、身体性のもつ本質的意義の再評価がなされた点、さらには欲求の訓練・身体の使用という意味での自己への配慮という新たな人間学構想への展開として解明がなされた点が、本研究の最大の特徴であり、思想史研究上の意義である。
