Research Area
1) Kant’s Theoretical Philosophy
This project investigates the continuity between Kant’s theoretical philosophy—particularly his theory of self‑affection—and twentieth‑century philosophy of mind, perception, and phenomenology.
2) Seventeenth‑Century German Scholastic Philosophy
This study examines the continuity between modern German philosophy, especially Kant’s critical philosophy, and medieval Aristotelian metaphysical traditions as they were developed within seventeenth‑century German scholasticism.
3) Latin American Philosophy
This research consists of a comparative study of the reception and development of philosophy in Latin America and Japan during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, on the one hand, and an exploration of the possible transformation of philosophy itself through encounters with Latin American Indigenous cultures, on the other.
The aim is twofold: first, to reconsider the nature of philosophy from the standpoint of non‑Western regions and their historical circumstances; and second, to construct a form of philosophy that is rooted in and responsive to non‑Western traditions, such as Latin American Indigenous thought and Japanese intellectual culture.
