| Research Abstract |
While this research is at base motivated by "suffering", "corporeality", "the Other" and "gender", during this period, we have especially focused on more concrete themes deeply related to them such as "reproduction", "sexual differences" and "the feminine". On the one hand, we carried out the research on these themes using the philosophy of Levinas. On the other hand, we examined reproduction from the perspectives of the Other, sexual differences and suffering while referring to the feminist thoughts. Moreover, we considered philosophically and ethically the significance or influences of advancement of reproductive technology in taking its current situations and problems into consideration.
