Milieu et identité humaine // Milieu and human identity

Abstract

The identity of human subjects, both individual and collective, varies along history and according to culture. The question is here examined in light of Nishida's philosophy, which put forward a logic of the identity of the predicate, or a logic of place, as opposed to the Aristotelian logic of the identity of the subject, and in connection to Watsuji's theory of human milieu. Human identity results from the process of an opening of worlds, or cosmophany, displayed at various time-spacen scales of in the contingency of history and in the concreteness of the ecumene.
