| Research Abstract |
At the beginning of this research, Kanamori intended to analyze exclusively "the Treatise on animals" of Condillac, but, on the course of research, Kanamori realised that this subject include many important items to be approfounded. Especially the works of french epistemologist G.Canguilhem gave many inspirations to continue this research. As the results, Kanamori wrote five articles as the following.
1: an article about an anthropomorphism, which analyses a paradox of the psychology and the reminiscence of anthropomorphic images in many studies on ethology and comparative psychology.
2: an article about the theory of environment, especially about the constructive and subjective theory of environment, which refuses to conceive the man as a pure passive existence in a geographical or ecological environment.
3: an article which analyses the conception of Canguilhem about the machine and the relation of machine and the man. Canguilhem assert that one cannot understand a machine as a radically different thing from a man.
4: an article about the technique and the life.
5: an article about the esthetical theory of Alain, and the technical or technophilosophical implication of this theory. Sugiyama is preparing many documents about the japanese conceotions about the natural science in modern times. Sugiyama does'nt write any article, but he will write before long.
