Outline of Final Research Achievements

Without knowing the images of the evils, we can hardly claim to understand the true profiles of Europe. In order to conjure up the “portrait of the Satan” the members of this research project (Dieter Trauden, Yuho Hisayama and Yoshito Takahashi) regularly met and extensively read the texts from medieval ages to the 18th century (in medieval German and Latin) as well as research literature, and rigorously exchanged our views in German. The researchers proudly report that they now have fairly clear understanding of the implications presented by the following topics: The Christianity and the Gnosis, Lucifer, Eva and the original sin, the Drama of Theophilos and veneration of the Virgin Mary, witches and the criticism by the nominalism, Tristan and Isolde’s love and the Renaissance of the 12th century, Erasmus contra Luther, Kant’s Radical Evil contra D. Hume and J. J. Rousseau, etc.
