Our main field of research is philosophy of medicine, and it is studied especially by way of the intellectual history of medicine. We have studied the thought of Ernst Schweninger, who insisted that medicine was a form of art. But our most important theme here is the scientific philosophy of Ernst Mach. He was a physicist, but from his younger days he committed himself to the study on medicine (physiology of sensory perception). He developed revolutionary ideas of physics and scientific philosophy, which had influences upon great physicists like Albert Einstein. One of the origins of Mach's new physical ideas is, according to our interpretation, his study on the physiology of sensory perception, especially that of rotary motion. Our second field of research is bioethics. Our interest here was how we could introduce this subject into medical education. For this purpose we made efforts to edit textbooks on bioethics. Now we have a plan to reconstruct bioethics in relation to environmental ethics. Our third field of research is medical education. In recent years the American system of medical education has come to be more accepted in Japan. It is meaningful however to also consult European systems. We are now investigating the German system of medical education.
