It is sure that there are many resemblances between Watsuji’s ethical theory and that of Hegel. However, the foundational concepts of Watsuji’s ethical theory, namely, “aidagara (social relation)” and the dialectic of “kū (emptiness),” can be found in his work before his intensive study of Hegel. In this article, I aim to elucidate the key differences in terms of the foundational thoughts between Watsuji’s theory of “aidagara” and Hegel’s theory of “Sittlichkeit (ethical life).” I will argue that the inter-relation of subjects as “aidagara” for Watsuji is a “given” in the sense that it already and always exists, and that, in contrast to this, the inter-relation of subjects as “recognition” for Hegel needs to be achieved or restored.","PeriodicalId":20367,"journal":{"name":"Praxis Journal of Philosophy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87364000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Se tratan pasajes fundamentales de Protagoras, Fedon, Filebo, Timeo y Leyes. Atender al dolor terapeuticamente pareciera lo primario en los textos, ya que se constituye como un mal que debe ser resuelto, pero, ademas, como un fenomeno inevitable en la vida que puede llevarla a su propia destruccion. No obstante, la alterna tiva de extirpar tal afeccion no parece posible en la mayoria de los casos, incluso aunque tengamos un arsenal de herramientas racionales para contenerla; mas bien, la estrategia seria recuperar nuestra capacidad para medir emociones, aquilatar su presencia y, como cuando nos rascamos, tratar de convertirlo en un factor a nuestro favor. Frente a nuestra contemporanea tendencia a extirpar todo dolor de nuestra vida, Platon, sobre todo el de las ultimas obras, nos lleva a pensar, curiosamente, en la posibilidad de recuperarlo para que nos permita construir un camino mas seguro hacia un bienestar integral en nuestra vida. EnglishThis paper is dedicated to represent the concepts and the various forms, in which the problem of pain is dealt with in Plato’s work. Fundamental passages of Protagoras, Phaedo, Philebus, Timaeus and Laws are discussed. Attending to pain therapeutically seems to be the primary issue in these texts, as it is constituted as an evil that has to be resolved and, additionally, as an inevitable phenomenon of life that can also take it to its own destruction. However, the alternative of extracting the affiction does not seem to be possible in most cases, even if we have an arsenal of rational tools to contain it; rather, the strategy would be to regain our capacity to measure emotions, examine their presence and, in the same way we do when we scratch, turning them into a factor in our favor. Facing our contemporary tendency to extract every pain from our life, Plato, especially in his last works, leads us, curiously enough, to think about the possibility of regaining it, so it will allow us to build a safer path towards an integral wellbeing in our life.","PeriodicalId":20367,"journal":{"name":"Praxis Journal of Philosophy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91150006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
