Ms. Rui's report is mostly about the lectures and experiences we had at the two Museums.

On August 14th, at the halfway of the three weeks seminar, we had an exciting lecture by professor Yasunari TAKADA at Komaba. The report written by Ms. Amakawa will tell us how Mr. Takada addressed the question that may make you feel awkward --"How to be a Perfect Japanese".

Ravishing scenery, fresh breeze and gentle rain we had experienced during the past 10 days perfected the summer institute together with conflicting philosophical ideas. Now we have come to the last two days of the second week. Here is the report of August 9th and 10th.

The Uehiro Research Division for Philosophy of Co-existence Opening Symposium "Ethics in Change" was held at the University of Tokyo on 16 June 2012. The symposium addressed the idea of co-existence between human beings, between human beings and nature, between human beings and technology, and between science and humanities. It brought these concepts together in a novel philosophical approach that encouraged an enthusiastic and fruitful discussion, a discussion that inspired deeper thought in this subject area, yet traversed the multitude of ideas with ease. Associate Professor Shinji Kajitani (University of Tokyo) was the leading moderator of the symposium.
