Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research discussed the "philosophical practice" through dialogue that is occurring at the philosophy cafe in disaster-affected areas. It also touches on the current trend in "philosophical practice" that has been developed since the 1980s as a new paradigm in philosophy by Western philosophers such as Gerd Achenback. We have experienced numerous separations and deaths since the earthquake. We are currently being forced to question anew various values including our views on life and death, such as love, conscience, kindness, loyalty, and fairness, that we had developed comfortably in tranquility. In such circumstances, the "philosophical practice" that is occurring at the philosophical cafe; where the participants' words (ideas) are strengthened through dialogues with others may be needed. It was only in such circumstances may it be possible to examine whether "philosophical practice" can play a major role in crisis management after the earthquake.
