Features of Major Subjects
Integrated Doctoral Program
| Subject Name | Features |
| History of Economic Civilization I | In order to interpret the great changes in the modern world, it is inevitable to introduce not only a spatial axis but also a time axis. Whether it is politics, business, or culture, it is impossible to see through anything without understanding the great changes in the world that are currently occurring there. The present age, where market economies and democracy, nation-states and corporations, and the elderly and the young collide, can be said to be the beginning of a decisive "great transformation" in modern civilization. With this point in mind, this course aims to help students acquire a dual foothold that allows them to interpret the modern world through the "economy" grid, and then critically reinterpret it. |
| Special Lecture on Creative Economy I | Students will be asked to use scientific and objective analytical methods to conduct a socio-economic evaluation of creative activities (projects, etc.). Each student will be asked to measure the socio-economic value of a creative activity (project, etc.) they are currently working on using SPSS, CVM, and other scientific and objective approaches. Basically, this will be a problem exercise (case study) for each student. Therefore, the conditions for taking this course are (1) that students are currently working on a creative activity (project, etc.) and (2) that students are familiar with SPSS, CVM, and other scientific and objective analytical methods. |
| Statistics | This course provides basic knowledge of statistics necessary for compiling and analyzing statistical data. After gaining a deeper understanding of basic statistics (average, standard deviation, correlation coefficient, etc.), the course will lead to the basics of probability theory (binomial distribution, normal distribution, etc.) and proceed to inferential statistics necessary for testing averages and population proportions. |
| Contemporary Philosophy II | I will present three basic perspectives for understanding Christian thought. The first is the question of what kind of religion Christianity is as a monotheistic religion. This can be understood based on the Old Testament in particular. The second is the question of what kind of person Jesus Christ was. This can be understood from the New Testament in particular. The third is the question of what kind of Christian thought supports Western culture. This can be understood by focusing on thinkers who have made their mark on the development of the Western world since the Common Era. I would like to understand the Christian thought that underpins Western culture from these three perspectives. This time, I plan to use a book that is said to be read by many people today, "Mysterious Christianity" by Hashizume Daizaburo and Osawa Masayuki (Kodansha Gendai Shinsho), and have students write reports in each class, which I will then explain and discuss. |
