The "1st Anniversary Commemorative Symposium of the Bin Kimura Memorial Archive of Clinical Philosophy" will be held on Sun. Sept. 27 (fully online).

2026.5.18

In July 2025, the Bin Kimura Memorial Archive of Clinical Philosophy (the "Aida Library") was established to honor the achievements of the preeminent psychopathologist and philosopher Professor Bin Kimura. To mark the milestone of its first anniversary, we will host a commemorative symposium. The theme of the symposium is "Bin Kimura and Contemporary French and Italian Thought."

Deeply rooted in the philosophies of Kitarō Nishida and Martin Heidegger, Professor Kimura, from his mid-career onward, carved out his unique clinical philosophy while resonating with contemporary French and Italian philosophers such as Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas, Michel Henry, Henri Maldiney, and Giorgio Agamben.

Featuring Satoshi Katō, Yoshimichi Saitō, Yasuhiko Sugimura, and Kenshin Shimizu as symposiasts, along with Tatsuya Higaki and Kenjirō Fukao as commentators, this symposium will explore the current state and further horizons of Kimura's Clinical Philosophy from multi-dimensional perspectives.

Date & Time: Sunday, September 27, 2026, 10:00–17:00

Format: Fully Online

The self can only become aware of itself as the self at the moment it encounters something other than itself. ... The self an d that which is not itself exist simultaneously , so to speak.Nishida Kitaro's famous line, "When the world becomes aware of itself , our self becomes awar e. When our self becomes aware of itself, the world becomes aware," points to this point. ... At the very moment when the self encounters something other than itself, like a sudden spark of fire, the self and that which is not itself arise from something . ... The individual is this something that is born from the encounter between the self and that which is not itself. This something exists before the individual . ... For the time being, I would like to express this something as "betwe en people."
