Outline of Final Research Achievements

We analyzed texts of French contemporary thinkers, especially Deleuze. Considered until now as negative or destructive for family or marriage, we re-read thoroughly his texts, to see that what matters for him is rather a criticism of familialism than that of family itself. Moreover, we tied his theory of subjectivity and his concept of desire and sexuality to propose a deeper, comprehensive vision of his philosophy.
Concerning this project, we published five printed matters. 1)"Does Exist something like a dividualist marriage?" ("Humanitas" vol. 7, Research Center of Humanities, Tamagawa University, march 2016). 2)Co-edition : "The Philosophy of Love, Sexuality and Family", 3 volumes (Nakanishiya, April 2016), 5)Co-edition : "The Philosophy of Being toghether: Contemporary French Thought questioning the danger and hope of Community" (Shoshi-Shinsui, April 2016).
