This volume is a selection of essays from the Japanese-American
Joint Seminar on Phenomenology held in the suburbs of Sanda-city
(Japan) October 24-27, 1989, under the auspices of the Center for
Advanced Research in Phenomenology, Inc. Florida Atiantic
University and the Phenomenological Association of Japan. Professor
Eiichi Shimomisse played a particularly impartant role in the
organizational processes. The theme of the conference was "Japanese
and Western Phenomenology. " This seminar marks the first attempt
to organize, on a comparatively large scale, a cooperative research
meeting in phenomenology (perhaps for the first time even in
philosophy in general) between Japan and the English speaking West.
Eighteen phenomenologists from the United States, Canada, and
Australia and about thirty Japanese colleagues attended the
meeting. Revised vers ions of aimost all the papers that were read
and discussed in the sessions are inc1uded. It was not a trifling
affair to setHe upon what language we phenome nologists from across
the world could use to communicate with each other at this
conference. As many of the Japanese scholars had studied in Germany
and speak better German than English, the official language of the
seminar was defined to inc1ude both German and English. So me of
the papers, accordingly, were written and read in German. But now
they are all rewritten here in English. Not only these papers, but
aH the manuscripts written by Japanese authors were edited both
grammaticaHy and stylisticaHy by Professor Blosser."

Das Problem der Grundlegung der Ethik wurde am Anfang dieses
Jahrhunderts mit der Frage nach der "naturalistic fallacy" in
England 1 und durch einen phanomenologischen Versuch auf Grund der
Werttheorie auf dem Kontinent 2 wiederum zu einem der brennenden
Themen der gegenwartigen philosophischen Be- sinnung. Wahrend es
als ein zentrales Problem in der deutschen Philo- sophie seit
Nicolai Hartmanns "Ethik" in Vergessenheit geraten und durch die
"Existenzphilosophie" fast abgeloest zu sein scheint, drangt sich
die philosophische Besinnung auf dieses Problem in Grossbritannien
und den Vereinigten Staaten auf der Basis der neu entwickelten
"analytischen Philosophie" bis heute weiter in den Vordergrund 3.
Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse ihrer scharfsinni- gen Analyse bieten
vielleicht fur unsere Fragestellung eine ganz neue Perspektive.
Damit ist aber nicht gesagt, dass jene "analy-
tisch-philosophischen Bestrebungen" die Frage nach dem Problem der
Grundlegung der Ethik schon klar und eindeutig beantwortet hatten,
sondern nur, dass sie die Streitfrage nun viel praziser her-
ausgestellt haben. Dabei handelt es sich einerseits um die Bestim-
mung des Wesens von sittlich "Gut" und "Boese" und der Werte
uberhaupt, woruber sich "Intuitionisten" und "Reduktionisten" 1 Wie
wohl schon bekannt ist, hob G. E. Moore die "naturalistic fallacy"
in seinem Werk Principia Ethica (S. 6-17 u. a. ) hervor und
glaubte, die naturalistischen sowie die metaphysischen
Reduktionismen damit zuruckzuweisen und einen utilitaristischen
Intuitionismus zu begrunden. S Wenn auch verschiedene Versuche von
den Neukantianern sowie von Franz Brentano unternommen worden sind,
muss man Max Scheler auf diesem Gebiet den den Ausschlag gebenden
Beitrag zusprechen.
