I am researching the problem of ¡®nihilism¡¯, referring mainly to the thought of Nietzsche and Heidegger. Moreover, I am examining ethical issues about life and death of our time as a bioethical theme and ethical issues about information technology such as the Internet and smartphone as an information ethical theme.
