Modern and Contemporary German Philosophy

• Phenomenology
• Virtue
• Value
• Person

I discuss Husserl¡¯s phenomenology, which lies at the turning point between the modern and present period, and its surroundings, with a particular emphsasis on the notion of personality. Based on this approach, I am examining the forgotten history of virtue ethics and attempting a reexamination of the importing of the notion of personality into Japan.
