発表者・共同発表者 The Spotlight Panel "Philosophy of Education Japan: Japan’s 2011 earthquake and responses of philosophy of education" by Takeo Tabata, Reiko Muroi, Jun Yamana, Yasuko Miyazaki, Mika Okabe, Fumio Ono, Morimichi Kato, Yasushi Maruyama
概要 This spotlight panel addresses the main theme of the conference, "Shaking Up and Settling Down," by reflecting on the significant events of March 11, 2011, when the Pacific coast of North Japan was struck by a great earthquake, just twenty days after the devastating earthquake in Christchurch. Thirteen years later, while society appears to have resumed a semblance of normalcy, the impact of these events remains, transitioning from open wounds to enduring scars. Forgetfulness might be a natural human coping mechanism, but occasional reflection on these scars is necessary. Historical parallels, such as the great earthquake in Lisbon over two centuries ago, highlight that such calamities pose profound challenges beyond the technological and economic spheres, extending into existential and ontological realms.
These events challenge our fundamental beliefs in nature, technology, community, and the good life. Despite the magnitude of these challenges, there
is a sense that the philosophers of education in Japan, may not have fully addressed the implications. This panel is an opportunity, facilitated by PESA, to engage in renewed reflection on these themes. The panel features five presentations, each offering a unique perspective on the great earthquake, aiming to explore and address the various dimensions of its impact. In addition, three discussants from Japan, Taiwan, and Christchurch will contribute to stimulating the discussion, bringing their diverse viewpoints and experiences to the conversation. The final 15 minutes of the session will be reserved for an open discussion from the floor. (241 words) (written by Morimichi Kato)
