Keywords | ontology, existential philosophy, phenomenology, environmental philosophy, Martin Heidegger, Hans Jonas |
Themes | My main research interest is the relationship between world and self. On the basis of this, I am engaged in theoretically considering environmental issues. The topic of my present research is to lay an existential groundwork for present generation's responsibility for future generations. A new ethical groundwork for human being's existence, which presupposes an attempt to reconstruct ontology and ethics, will be my lifework. |
