Nagasaki was the only place for international trade and played an essential role as the gateway to Asian and European countries. The Univer…

Through the teaching of philosophy grounded in fundamental and logical thought, he aimed to enrich society by increasing ordinary people's capabilities to engage in such intellectual activities as contemplation, conception, and judgment. In particular, advocating "Integrating Knowledge and Virtue," he was committed to the development of "human resources" (the view of people a…
