​Basic philosophy

The Kyoto Forum was held on Culture Day, November 3, 1989, in Kyoto, with the common understanding that we should learn from the profound philosophy and wisdom of the Orient, which was developed in the East in a complementary manner to Western philosophy. A professor emeritus at Kyoto University is known around the world as a scientist with a conscience who analyzed the small amount of ash that had been left behind and determined that it was a hydrogen bomb, and presented an academic report (commonly known as the Shimizu Report) at an international conference of scientists. It was established with Professor Sakae Shimizu as the chairperson.

Starting from the question, "What should religion and science do in response to the earth's crisis?", we will hold a forum with academic experts from various fields such as the environment and coexistence, science, religion, and education, and we will hold a forum with academic experts from various fields such as the environment and coexistence, science, religion, education, etc. Make recommendations regarding the environment and education.

In particular, we recognize that it is essential to reconsider the concepts of "private," "public," and "public," and foster a public mindset when thinking about global issues and Japan's domestic and international issues. The basic issue is to revitalize, improve health, and mature the public, and from there we consider what the relationship between humans, the organizations surrounding them, the nation, and the world should be, and how that relationship should be developed in a multidimensional and mutual way. In order to reconsider related and fundamental questions, we have established the Kyoto Forum on Public Philosophy, and aim to realize a true public world and public happiness through theoretical research on new public consciousness and its practice.
