「場」と知識創造

―現象学的アプローチによる集団的創造性を促す「場」の理論に構築に向けて―

抄録

This paper attempts to construct a ba ("field") theory toward collective creativity. Ba is a foundation of knowledge creation. I define ba as "a time-space given meaning by humans' inter-subjective/inter-corporeal relationality." In order to create a ba model, I introduce concepts from Husserl's inter-subjectivity and Merleau-Ponty's inter-corporality in phenomenology as generative principles and use Bio holonics based on Nishida Kitaro's basho theory as a foundation. Furthermore, I introduce Yamaguchi's three layers model of phenomenology. The third layer in Yamaguchi's theory is highly related to the transcendental status of human's creativity. Through these theoretical background, I am able to highlight the characteristics of ba, their generative mechanisms, as well as their functioning and effectiveness in collective creativity.
