Teaching Method

Outline:

The basic attitude in philosophy is to think thoroughly about the various questions one may have. Lectures will be given on what "doing philosophy" means while incorporating Western and Japanese thoughts. The class will then aim to achieve the following through lectures and discussion materials on various philosophical issues: (1) Motivate each student to "do philosophy", develop flexible thinking that is valid in an international context; and (2) allow each student to establish themselves while acknowledging their diverse values.

Style:

Generally a lecture format, but discussions are scheduled four times a year.
[Class time: 60 hours]

Notice:

Students will be asked to submit short reports as needed for discussion. Please keep in mind that reports will by accepted e-mail, etc. Discussions are scheduled four times a year. The policy is that topics mentioned in lectures will be confirmed in regular examinations, so students will need to "properly listen to lectures".
