Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Thanks to the generous support of the KAKENHI grant, I was able to successfully present preliminary results of my research project at various international conferences in Japan and abroad (e.g., CCPC, EAJS, ENOJP). Through this, I gained valuable feedback from scholars working on Japanese philosophy and the themes of Buddhism and Christianity. Based on this feedback, I am now able to publish more results in journal articles (e.g., JEAP and EJJP among others) and to finish writing my doctoral thesis. The pursuit of this research project has led me to produce new insights into the historical significance of the Kyoto School's and Nishitani Keiji's interpretation of Christianity. I continue to co-organize the biannual Nishitani Keiji Workshop on the Philosophy of Religion at Nanzan University.
