- Nanzan University Institute for Social Ethics
Promoting an Ethical Approach to Social Issues
Founded in 1980, the Institute for Social Ethics seeks to analyze social problems from a standpoint consistent with Christian principles and to bring about a greater awareness of the importance of human ethical values in the social sciences and in the approach to social problems in general. By drawing its ethical perspective both from Christian teaching and tradition and from Japanese tradition and experience, the Institute takes an approach to ethics that is both Christian and dialogical. Seeking a comprehensive and interdisciplinary grasp of social issues that takes full account of the realities of contemporary society and of the interrelatedness of the various socio-economic, socio-political and environmental issues the world faces, the institute aims at using this ethical approach to shed light on and deal with these issues.
The Institute has an active program of regular seminars.

Encouraging Dialogue Among Religions and Cultures
Perhaps nowhere in the world has the dialogue among religions taken hold stronger than in contemporary Japan. For over forty years the Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture has been at the forefront of Christian participation in this dialogue, bringing together scholars from across the broad spectrum of Japanese religions to collaborate in scholarly pursuits. Over the years since its foundation in 1974, the Institute has shaped itself as much to the skills and interests of its researchers as to the changing face of religion in Japan and Eastern Asia. This development is reflected in its two annual bulletins (in Japanese and English),
