Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Based on three existing manuscripts, I completed a critical edition of John Dinsdale's commentary on Book III of the Nicomachean Ethics. While making this critical edition, I carried comparative studies of his commentary, his sources and his contemporary Ethics commentaries. Through the research, I obtained more clear views on the significance and characteristics of his commentary. I presented the results of my consideration in academic meetings inside and outside Japan. To have better understanding the word “mode”, which is used sometimes distinctively in the Ethics commentaries, I analysed different uses of “mode” in Thomas Aquinas and wrote a couple of articles about this subject. Besides, I made reflective consideration on the ways to study medieval philosophy, while translating John Marenbon’s good introductory book on medieval philosophy into Japanese.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
13世紀後半の写本資料を校訂することで、内外の中世哲学研究者がより容易に研究をすすめるための手段を提供した。そしてキリスト教道徳から切り離された形で展開されていた倫理学の議論の在り方とその形成史を明らかにすることで、理性に基づいて議論をすすめるという、西洋哲学の主潮流の一側面を内外の研究者に示した。またトマス・アクィナスにおけるモドゥスの概念を分析することで、後の西洋哲学で重要な役割を果たす概念がもつ豊かな内容と歴史を明らかにした。さらに、マレンボンの中世哲学史入門書の訳出によって、日本の一般の人々にも、西洋哲学の源流を成す中世哲学についての知識を得る手段を提供した。
