    《Articles》Über die Einführung des Begriffs des 'Willens als Ding an sich' bei Schopenhauer : Zur Kompatibilität der Verneinung des Willens und der Moral

    No full text
    Schopenhauer führt den Begriff des metaphysischen Willens in seiner Willensmetaphysik ein, um die Grundlage der Moral zu erklären. Bis heute ist der metaphysische Wille als Substanz oft verstanden worden. Aber es bringt die Aporie, dass man Verneinung des Willens für absolutes Nichts halten muss, obwohl Schopenhauer existierende Personen, St. Francesco d'Assisi u.s.w., als Beispiele anführt, welche die Verneinug des Willens erreichen. Dann brauchen wir einen anderen Weg, die Aporie zu lösen; er ist, den metaphysischen Willen als Ding an sich zu betrachten. Aber diese Interpretation betrifft das Problem des Zusammenhangs des Selbst zu den Anderen, weil man, jene Interpretation angenommen, auf die Frage stößt, ob nur das Selbst , auf zwei ganz verschiedene Weisen' als Vorstellung und Wille, die Andere außer dem Selbst nur als Vorstellung gegeben werden. Zwar erklärt Schopenhauer es als Egoismus, dass man die unsymmetrische Bezihung des Selbst zu den Anderen erstlich festhält. Aber er behauptet, dass solcher Egoisumus, durch Beweise nimmermehr zu widerlegen' ist. Andererseits wird die Identität des Selbst mit den Anderen als Bedingung der Möglichkeit der Moral von Schopenhauer behauptet. So ist der Gegenstand dieser Abhandlung es, die Identität und Verschiedenheit zwischen Selbst und den Anderen aufgrund des Willens als Ding an sich mit der Kontext der Erklärung des Mitleids zu rekonstruieren. Dadurch können wir die Lehre von der Verneinug des Willens in Schopenhauers Philosophie konsequent verstehen

    How ICTs Raise Manufacturing Performance: Firm-level Evidence in Southeast Asia.

    This paper examines the effects of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on business performance, using firm-level data obtained through a questionnaire survey in four ASEAN countries (Indonesia, The Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam). Sources of information and new technologies exchanged via ICTs by firms are also explored to investigate the mechanism behind ICT adoption. Empirical results verify that the introduction of ICT to reorganize business processes is significantly correlated with business performance, in particular the development of export markets and improvement of production management. ICTs facilitate access to information and technologies accumulated in in-house departments and joint-venture (JV) affiliates of the respondent firms. There are considerable differences between multinational companies (MNCs)/JVs and local firms. MNCs/JVs make use of information and technologies obtainable via ICTs from their own R&D departments, JVs established with local partners and foreign-owned suppliers/customers to improve factory management, mostly for product quality improvement and production cost reduction. In contrast, local firms interconnect their own R&D departments via ICTs to enhance their business performance in broader areas than MNCs/JVs, including the development of export markets.

    Time as sociology’s basic concept: A perspective from Alfred Schutz’s phenomenological sociology and Niklas Luhmann’s social systems theory

    This paper aims to clarify the proper position of time as sociology’s basic concept in relation to meaning ( Sinn). In sociology, the inseparable relationship between time and meaning has been clearly shown by Schutz’s phenomenological sociology and Luhmann’s social systems theory. Referring to the respective theories of Bergson and Husserl, Schutz argued that the problem of meaning in Weber’s interpretative sociology is a problem of time. The meaning of an action that an actor subjectively thinks of is determined not by a common normative value for example, but rather through her/his own inner time: the meaning of an ongoing action ( Handeln) is the act ( Handlung) projected as an aim in the stream of consciousness. Similarly, Luhmann considered self-referential social systems as temporal subjects that cognize their own reality of the external world. Phenomena appearing to a social system through communicative intentionality are weighted by the system’s own past and future, and are thereby selectively (not randomly) actualized as meaningful units in the present. System order (or social order) is thus temporally organized in the atemporal, chaotic world of meaning. “Self-reference” is to refer to a system’s own eigen time ( Eigenzeit), which provides the basis for a system’s autonomy or freedom. </jats:p

    33歳女。産婦人科にて子宮筋腫核出術を施行され、術後の骨盤部MRIにて膀胱腫瘍を指摘され当科紹介受診となった。膀胱鏡検査にて左側壁から前壁にかけて表面平滑な粘膜下腫瘍を認め、MRIでは膀胱筋層内に約3cm大で境界明瞭な卵円形の腫瘤を認めた。骨盤部CTでは同部位に石灰化を伴わない膀胱腫瘍を認め、造影剤による陰影増強効果を認めた。膀胱粘膜下膿瘍と診断して経皮的針生検を施行し、病理組織学的所見より褐色細胞腫と診断された。生検後の内分泌学的検査で血中尿中共にノルアドレナリンの高値を認め、131I-MIBG scanでは膀胱に集積を認める以外、他の部位に集積は認めなかった。以上より膀胱原発褐色細胞腫と診断し、膀胱部分切除術を施行した。摘除標本の大きさは4×4×2cmで、病理組織学的所見は生検標本と同じく褐色細胞腫の組織像で、筋層内に圧排性増殖を示し、被膜形成は認められなかった。術後経過は順調で、術後15日目に退院し、9ヵ月経過現在、血中カテコラミンは基準範囲内で再発も認めていない。A 33-year-old female patient was admitted to our department with bladder tumor. It was detected by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in an examination for hysteromyoma. She had neither hypertention, gross hematuria nor the classic symptoms of cathecholamine excess during micturition. The diameter of the tumor was 33 mm. Cystoscopic examination showed a submucosal tumor in the left anterior wall of the bladder. Percutaneous needle biopsy was performed. Biopsy specimens revealed as a pheochromocytoma. 131 I-MIBG scintigraphy showed abnormal accumulation in the bladder, and no abnormal accumulation in the other lesion. Endocrinologic examination disclosed increased levels of serum and urinary noradrenalin. On May 18, 2005, partial cystectomy was performed. The catecholamine levels normalized after partial cystectomy. The patient has been followed up for 9 months and shown no recurrence
