Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the perspective of the 'universal rule society concept based on the rule-based human rights principle', we have laid the foundations for one new symbiosis principle theory and method principle. In the future, we would like to elucidate the challenges for the recognition and symbiosis of people with dementia and mental disabilities = 'existential minorities' by the 'principle of mutual recognition' and the 'principle of common understanding' of freedom, through mutual care and mutual recognition based on the understanding and perception of the 'living world', i.e. the construction of universal symbiosis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

普遍的人権概念の哲学原理・実践的原理を巡る混乱や齟齬、および共生論が拠って立つ哲学原理と方法論および社会構想における相違に起因する混乱と対立を解消し、現実社会に力強く寄与しうる共生原理論として「ケアの哲学」と「普遍共生論」の基礎づけを行うことができた。これによって認知症の人や精神障害者たちが抱えている苦しみや諸問題を実践的に解決する哲学原理的方法が解明されえよう。
