Research Abstract |
1. The Japanese translation of Sumumulae Logicales and Syncategoremata by Peter of Spain is forthcoming. (Tyusei-shiso-genten-Shusei Vol 19. Heibonsha, Tokyo) 2. The Japanese translation of the writings on China by Leibniz was published (Leibniz Tyosakushu vol 10, Kosakusha, Tokyo 1991) 3. The manuscripts of the Japanese froms lation of Mo-Tzu and Kun-Sun-Lung were completed, but I cannot find the published yet. 4. The paper "A short History of Reontic Logic" describes the prehistory of deonti logic which is newly developing from the beginning of the twentieth century. The idea of deontic logic can be found in the works of kant, Betham, Work, and Leibniz. And the paper proves that the ultimate origin of the idea is in the works of Ciero and Aritotle. In this paper the original visualization of deontic logic by Hasse's diagram is proposed and used in the description of history. 5. The paper "The Tenno (The Emperor) in the Present Constitution of Japan" is the comparative study of the logical structures both of European monarlies and of Japanese monarchy. The result is that although there is a great difference between European monarckies and Japanese monanchy in the ancient and medieval ages. one can find the remarkable similarity between the English monarchy in modern age and Japanese monarchy after World War II. In this paper my original model of the theory of state by the Hasse'seliagram is for the first time proposed and used. 6. The paper "The collapse of European Metaphysics by the Paradigh Shift of logic "Lemonstrates that traditiond European Metaphysics which was continuing for more than 2, 000 years from Plato and Aristotle was completely destroyed by the innovation of logical technigues, for the Metaphysics was supported by the ancient logic.
