このコースは、平和思想史における古典的諸著作を共 に読解研究することを目的としている。次のような哲学者・平和思想家・平和実践家の諸著作を取り上げる予定である。I. カント、L.トルストイ、内村鑑三、M.ガンディー、M.L.キング牧師、J. ガルトゥング、また最近の思想家達の諸著作など。


The theme of this seminar course is “On Postwar Japan, Peace, Violence.” The course aims at understanding various types of pacifism and perspectives of peace and violence. We will look closely at the efforts for peace-building and the so-called Peace Constitution in postwar Japan. And a special emphasis is laid upon the contribution of religious ideas to the promotion of world peace. Thus, we will take up ideas of peace proffered by Gandhi and King as well. (I will also refer to Desiderius Erasmus and Kanzo Uchimura here and there). Another emphasis resides in the study of classical texts on the issues of peace and violence. Thus, we will deal with Kant’s cosmopolitan ideal, Galtung’s astute analyses of direct violence, structural violence and cultural violence, and Arendt’s theoretical reflection on power and violence as well.
