Present Research Subject:

Theoretical research (history of sociology) on the reconstruction and succession of Weber’s sociology.

Research Plan for the GCOE Program:

Based on S. N. Eisenstadt’s multiple modernities theory, in the international joint research program on the Sociological Theory of the Public Sphere and ‘Multiple Modernities’, I intend to examine the potentiality of a theoretical framework for grasping the universality and diversity of modernity through a comparison of theories of scholars such as Weber, Parsons, Luhmann, Habermas etc. In so doing, I would like to contribute to the present GCOE program by settling a fundamental horizon for considering the social changes and the differentiation of the intimate and public spheres in today’s Asia.

Activities in the Asian Center for the Reconstruction of the Intimate and Public Spheres:

Research Project:

International Joint Research Program on the Sociological Theory of the Public Sphere and ‘Multiple Modernities’ （2008-2009）: research representative.
