Message from the Director
Director FUKAMACHI Hideo Professor, Faculty of Global Management
Ranging from linguistics, literature, and philosophy to education, psychology, and history, our research fellows’ fields of interests are extensive and diverse.
However, all one hundred and forty-odd research fellows, two hundred-odd visiting fellows, and twenty-odd associate fellows have something in common: our mind to examine and explore human nature from various angles.
Even in these times of technological innovation and economic utility, it is often astonishing to realize that human nature remains conspicuously unchanged despite the rapid changes taking place around us.
Therefore, as director, I hope that the Institute will continue to contribute to the betterment of the present and future world through the investigation, speculation, and discussion concerning various aspects of human nature conducted through our about forty research projects.
