The 77th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Ethics was held online on Friday, October 2, and at the Faculty of Education building and Lecture Hall Classroom Building on Saturday, October 3 ~ Sunday, October 4, with many researchers from across Japan participating.

The Japan Ethics Society was founded in 1950 with Mr. Tetsuro Watsuji as president. Since then, for about 80 years, it has played a central role in ethical research in Japan as the largest academic association for ethics.

At this conference, a wide range of research findings were presented, including classical issues related to Kantian ethics, contemporary normative ethics, and meta-ethics, ethical research in Japanese thought such as Bushido, medical ethical considerations based on clinical experience, ethical issues related to social media, and ethical issues related to sexuality and eros.

Additionally, Mr. Ryu Watsuji (representative of the Watsuji Human Resources Mutual Education Institute), great-grandson of the first president Tetsuro Watsuji (representative of the Watsuji Human Resources Cooperative Development Institute), also participated in this conference, and during the social gathering, he spoke about the connection between the Watsuji family and the Japanese Society of Ethics.

After the conference, a letter of thanks from Mr. Naonori Tsuge, the current president and professor at Keio University's Faculty of Letters, was delivered for both the event and its conclusion.
