| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to reconstruct the concept of "institution," which includes both informal conventions and formal legal norms, from the perspective of "social ontology," a branch of modern metaphysics. The main result of this research was to point out the difficulties associated with the recent efforts of F. Guara (a rational choice theorist) and others to create a unified theory of institutions by subordinating the "rule view" to the "equilibrium view" of institutions, and to propose a framework for positioning the "equilibrium view" within the "rule view," which was presented in August 2022 at the International Conference on Social Ontology held at the University of Vienna. We were also able to publish papers on the actions of institutional bodies (organizations) and their responsibilities.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究成果の学術的意義は、これまで様々な領域（経済学、社会学、政治学、哲学など）において、互い交流することなく行われてきた「制度」研究を、J. サールの構成的ルールを柱とする「社会存在論の標準モデル」の中で緩やかに統合する拡張的枠組みを提案したことである。
制度および制度体（組織）は私たちの社会的世界の根本的な構成要素であり、制度の正統性や実効性、制度の創設、設計、改正等は、私たちの社会生活をより良いものにするためにつねに考えなければならない問題である。この意味において、制度の基礎に関する本研究は重要な社会的意義を有する。
