Four objects of our project are :
1.the establishment of contents of the philosophical education,
2.building the system for these,
3.the research of the appraisal standard in the philosophical education,
4.Elucidating the relation between the philosophical research and the philosophical education.
1.About the university education,
(1)we collected 150 philosophical basic terms and issued this list with the explanation,
(2)we executed the examination for the permission for graduation of the philosophical course in the university,
(3)we evaluated each other's lecture records.
From our research, we got some methods how we can overcome the present unfavorable condition concerning the philosophical education.
2.About the graduate school education,
(1)we tried to teach how to discuss philosophically in German,
(2)we introduced the practical research concerning the psychiatry and the cognitive therapeutic exercise to the education of the philosophy of human body.
3.We found the most difficult point of this research in this third item. Because the construction of any criteria of philosophical education depends basically on the former two item, and also largely on the social status in which the philosophical education in the university are placed. And after all we decided that it is future topic, as this dependency is permeating to also the professor who teaches the philosophy.
4.About the researching attitude in philosophical investigator,
(1)we evaluated the ideas of philosophical education through the interview to the philosopher of Germany, France and the United States.
(2)a conclusion which we obtained from our result is : if the teacher does not change, education does not change.
(3)we got a special expansion from our research of the philosophy of human body : the cognitive therapeutic exercise includes fundamentally philosophical innovation.
