Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to gain a new way of thinking about the philosophical issues surrounding “event” and “reality” from the perspective of French phenomenology by collaborating with Japanese and French researchers. Due to the Corona disaster, which coincided with the first two years of the research period, we had to limit our collaboration in two years to limited ways, such as seminars via Zoom, etc. However, by extending my research period, I was able to participate in symposiums held in France and symposiums held in Japan, which enabled me to interact directly with Japanese and French researchers and obtain a variety of results. These results will be published as the books in France and Japan.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

「出来事」も「実在性」も、誰しも経験するような身近で日常的にありふれた事柄であり、一見したところその意味は誰にも理解しやすいように思われるが、実際には様々な哲学的問題がそこに潜んでいる。例えば出来事は物とは何が異なるのか、あるいは出来事は存在か非存在かといった問題に一義的な答えを与えることは難しい。実在性についても同様であり、本研究では、これら二つの概念をめぐって、これまでの哲学の歴史における様々な考察を踏まえつつ、そうした考察では不十分だった点を考慮に入れ、フランス現象学の観点から新たな見方を手に入れることを試みた。こうした考察は、これらの概念をめぐる今後の研究の基礎となるものである。
