Minakata Mandala op.2 appears in Kumagusu’s letter written on August 8, 1903. In this mandala, Kumagusu adds his new concepts of ‘name (myo, 名)’ and ‘symbol (in, 印)’. Followed by his explanation on the mandala, he explains ‘causality (inga, 因果)’ and ‘dependent co-arising (engi, 縁起)’. Although Kumagusu never mentioned Minakata Mandala op.1 as his mandala, interestingly, he explains himself that he drew a mandala when explaining Minakata Mandala op.2 in his letter to Hōryu. Fig.6 Fig.7 In the Shingon school, according to Kukai’s teachings, the Womb realm (taizoukai mandala, 胎蔵界曼荼羅) is known as ‘the world of law (or principle) (rikai, 理界)’ and the Diamond Realm (kongoukai mandala, 金剛界曼荼羅) is known as ‘the world of wisdom (chikai, 智界)’.

This leads us to speculation on Kumagusu’s ethics regarding the use of technology in our modern society: Practical ethics as an intersection of applied science and liberal art studies. Here I would like to summarize what was covered in Section 2 in terms of Kumagusu’s critical view of modern science and his philosophical thought-experiments or his attempt to solve the problem embedded in science. 1) He criticized science for focusing mainly on the phenomenon of ‘substance’.

The movie “Bajo la Misma Luna,” in my own opinion, is a wonderful film representing all of the obstacles and sacrifices families have to go through to live in a free and safe environment. Some of the obstacles that these Mexican families encounter would include the hardships illegal immigrants face with la migra along with the reasons for Mexicans to immigrate and cross the border. Also jobs available for illegal immigrants are difficult to find as well.

In Did Habermas Cede Nature to the Positivists?, Gordon Mitchell creates a philosophical discussion concerning the validity of Jürgen Habermas’s “colonization of the lifeworld” thesis. Habermas’s thesis sought to elucidate the implications of society’s propensity for “converting social issues into technical problems” that require resolutions based off a “scientific mode of decision-making” (Mitchell, 1). This mechanical mode of thinking stems from the idea that science is objective in nature, in which there is always a right way and a wrong way. However, Habermas argues that “joint communicative action by deliberating citizens would yield more appropriate and legitimate judgments” in the field of social sciences (Mitchell, 1). Although many

Often this creativity is brought through a different interpretation of prior knowledge. Creativity and imagination has led to new experiments in physics and chemistry as well, such as Volta’s ability to use prior knowledge of physics and chemistry to
