Summary of Research Results Produced by the International Research Center for Philosophy, Toyo University, for the 2014 Academic Year

(as of 1 January 2015)

Summary of Research Projects and Research Organization

Summary of Research Projects The International Research Center for Philosophy (IRCP) was adopted as a Strategic Research Base Development Program for Private Universities at the end of May 2011 and officially inaugurated on July 1, 2011. We would like to introduce our intentions as follows. Philosophical studies that fundamentally question the shape of humans and their society is necessary in our contemporary society, where globalization is progressing, values are diversifying, and the path to the future is obscured. The IRCP aims to form an international network of philosophical research to answer these global issues and internationally communicate the modern role of the philosophy propounded by Enryo Inoue, which engenders global cooperation while noticing the differences between Eastern and Western thought. The IRCP has established the following three units. 1. In the First Unit, we present Japanese thought since the Meiji era (1868–1912), in particular the philosophy

of Inoue Enryo, the founder of Toyo University. To do this, we are conducting research projects to cultivate Enryo’s philosophy and establish the International Association for Inoue Enryo Research.

2. In the Second Unit, we methodologically support these three units through theoretical and practical means and aim to construct a new universal methodology that is the basis of various disciplines and can be shared globally. A “post-Fukushima philosophy” has been assigned as a practical issue.

3. In the Third Unit, we strive to present a new worldview that goes beyond diversity, incorporating the active attributes of Eastern thought based on kyosei (harmonious coexistence) for a contemporary society, which is in strife and turmoil because of the spread of destabilizing relativism and its opposite, unipolarism.

International Association for Inoue Enryo Research

Summary

［Scope］ In the early Meiji era, when Japan began exploring the structure of modern government, a distinguished philosopher and educator named Inoue Enryo appeared. He dedicated his life to a broad range of educational projects and laid the foundation of philosophical study in Japan, establishing Tetsugakukan, a school for human resource development based on philosophical education, and making a great effort to provide intellectual enlightenment to the general public across the country. His various achievements are also recognized in a vast collection of writing that he left behind, including books about philosophy. Today, the footsteps of Inoue, who played a major role in public enlightenment and social reform from the


perspective of philosophy in the early modernization of Japan and cast no small impact on the subsequent direction of Japanese society, ought to be deeply reflected on once again. Toyo University, the successor institution to Tetsugakukan, established International Association for Inoue Enryo Research this year in order to vigorously promote research on Enryō Inoue within a framework of international cooperation. In conjunction with this, the International Society of Enryō Inoue will be launched in order to engage in activities such as holding regular or occasional workshops and conferences.
