Arata Hamawaki
Assistant Professor
Ph.D. Harvard University
Hamawaki received his PhD from Harvard University, 2005. He works on Kant, 19th Century German philosophy, Early Modern philosophy, Wittgenstein, and on Kantian and Hegelian themes in contemporary philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, aesthetics, ethics and moral psychology. He is currently at work on the following topics: first, Kant’s conception in his third Critique of our cognitive faculty as normatively constituted, in particular, on the nature of what he there calls “exemplary necessity”; second, Kant’s idea in his first Critique of treating the formal unity of the self as the basis for cognition in general; third, “scenes of instruction” in Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations; and fourth, the distinction between thinking of our cognitive faculties as “instrument” and as “medium.” He also has an interest in metaphilosophical matters.
