哲学・思想文化論講座 Philosophy and History of Ideas
哲学及び隣接分野の古典的テクストを正確に読解することで知の歴史の中に自らを位置づけるとともに，現代哲学における様々なトピックや方法論について学ぶ。そのうえで，オリジナルな問題設定と明確で論理的な議論構成，そして十全な根拠付けを３本の柱とする哲学的な方法を修得し，現代の諸問題に取り組む力を養成する。
This graduate program provides students with a firm foundation in classical and contemporary philosophical texts, trains them to read these texts critically, and prepares them to investigate how philosophy and its historically related, neighboring fields continue their dialogue in the present world. The history of ideas sets the framework within which students explore various topics and methodologies in contemporary philosophy and consider their relationship to critical problems. Students develop these skills through coursework: They learn to pose original, critical questions, to discuss ideas clearly and logically, and to develop a reasoned argument. Our aim is to cultivate individuals capable of providing critical philosophical perspectives not only on traditional problems from the field but also on the urgent problems of today.
美学・芸術学講座 Aesthetics and Art History
芸術の奥底にある思想を掘り起こす美学，創造を支える文化構造を解明する芸術学，作品のたどった歴史を追いかける西洋・日本の美術史を通して，人類文明の生んだ美術・音楽・舞台・映像・建築・庭園・祝祭・遊戯などの文化事象を調査・分析する。当講座では既成の芸術概念にとらわれず，さらにはジャンル・地域・時代等の壁を越えて相互の影響関係の考察や比較を行い，芸術に結実した文化事象を総合的に教育・研究する。
Civilizations of humanity have produced a variety of cultural and artistic phenomena, such as art, music, drama, cinematic art, architecture, horticulture, festivals, and entertainment. In this course we research and analyze these phenomena from three perspectives. Firstly, from the perspective of aesthetics we uncover the underlying thought of art. Secondly, using art theory we elucidate the cultural structure that supports creation. Finally, we explore art works from the viewpoint of both Western and Japanese art history. Unconstrained by conventional concepts of art, research is carried out into a wide range of contemporary cultural phenomena. We offer comprehensive education and research into the cultural phenomena of art, removing the walls dividing genres, regions, and era etc. in order to study mutual artistic influences and comparisons.
