教員紹介		We cannot choose the results of our efforts but we can choose what efforts we make and when we make those efforts. This is an important time in your life and the decisions you make now will have consequences for many years. I encourage you to take responsibility for everything you do, including who you are. Make yourself into the person you want to be, make your life into something that you create. That effort is what will matter most, and it has nothing to do with “success”.

研究SEEDS

研究テーマ

　現象学（宗教と美術）・応用倫理学 [Phenomenology (Religion and Art), Applied Ethics]

研究概要

　My current work is focused on the phenomenology and philosophy of religion, specifically with relation to ancient scriptural texts, exegetics, and what follows phenomenologically if one's initial approach to such is changed (pre-structuring). This is closely connected to hermeneutics, the self, being-in-the-world, and thinking the human vis-a-vis concepts of divinity/transcendence. The methodology is primarily Contiental but uses some aspects of the Analytic approach (especially philosophy of mind), and one goal is to re-apply and re-discover usages for the great religious literary wealth we have received from tradition. At present my primary efforts are related to building a theory of phenomenological reading and applying it to the biblical book of Genesis, but with allowing for influences from Buddhist thought as well.
