- 研究成果概要
- This research has examined how Aristotle’s teleological nature is used in his argument about the distribution and use of resources in the Politics. This nature is different from the nature of a particular species (such as “human nature”) in that it works as if it is an agent that distributes resources to creatures and arranges organs in their bodies. The work of this teleological nature is expressed in the principle that nature does nothing in vain. From a present-day angle, however, this nature is abused for justifying enslavement, gender inequality and hierarchies. This research addresses these problems with such applications of biological ideas to political philosophy. It has clarified that Aristotle’s teleological thinking is indispensable for developing a unified theory of just distribution. I spoke about this research in a conference (第41回政治哲学研究会) in 26th September 2021 (online) and will offer a presentation in International Political Science Association, 10th-15th July 2021 (online). I have written an article and submitted it to an international journal.
