| Research Abstract |
This project has surveyed the theories and debates on fate and free will in Hellenistic and Roman philosophy. The main research achievements include several articles and conference presentations on the historical and philosophical significance of the Stoic and Neoplatonic theories of fate and freedom, the first Japanese translation of Proclus' De providentia et fato et eo quod in nobis(jointly with Tazuko TAGO), and a chapter presenting an outline of Hellenistic philosophy in a book series on the history of Western philosophy ; a monograph based on this research is also in preparation.
