| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project pursued a possibility of non-normative political theory. By so doing, it aimed to enrich the scope of political theory in Japan, where most of the current studies focus on normative theories, while contributing to ongoing debates on realism political theory in the English-speaking world. More specifically, this project is divided into two phases. In the first phase, I critically analyzed the works on political realism by Raymond Geuss and Bernard Williams, revealing that their realism contains two incongruent orientations: the view that politics has a fixed reality and the view that politics is boundless and protean. In light of this incongruence, the second phase further pursued the latter orientation by drawing upon writings of agonistic democrats and Gilles Deleuze.
