| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I have published nine papers while this study project has been carried out from 2010 to 2014. The first one published in 2010 was about the explanation of self-sacrificial act by means of play-acting theory of human action. The act and concept of self-sacrifice has been the basic concernment of the whole series of my papers written on this project.
The second paper was about the cross-cultural perspectives for folk-psychological explanations of human action. I have found that the Japanese view on action typically involves an attitude that looks upon an action as a collaborative outcome of the agent and the socio-cultural environment. The totality of the environmental factors can be regarded as an action scenario for the agent.
The rest of my papers are about the possibility of taking scenarios seriously and I have found that a seemingly irrational action, such as self-sacrificial one, can be reasonably explained in a fictional space set up by the scenario for the agent.
