論理学をベースとし、科学の具体的題材に即した哲学的問題の解明を目指す。確率の哲学、帰納法の問題、進化論をめぐる哲 学的・倫理的問題の追究、空間・時間論、合理主義の倫理学などが主な関心の対象。趣味は囲碁、リコーダー演奏、コンピュータ上でのお絵描き（see, e.g. Gallery）。 2006年3月に定年退職。オモロないことでは世界最高水準を誇る某大学某学部教授会から解放されて明るくなった現在を楽しんでいる。これからは、ダー ウィンを見習って、自営の科学哲学者を目指す。最近はリコーダー演奏の録音に精力を注ぐかたわら、ライプニッツの形而上学と動力学（時空論を含む）を統合する新解釈を展開中。

Soshichi Uchii (Professor Emeritus): Logically minded, I am trying to treat and clarify philosophical problems contained in specific subjects of science, such as the theory of evolution or the kinetic theory of gas. Interested in the philosophy of probability, the problems of induction, philosophical and ethical problems related to the theory of evolution, the philosophy of space-time, and rationalist ethics. Besides these subjects, the game of Go, playing the recorder, and computer graphics are my major concern. I have just retired from the professorship at Kyoto in March 2006, and am now enjoying the bright present, freed from the boring faculty meetings (believe me, the boredom is at the highest level in the world!). From now on, I wish to become an independent philosopher like Charles Darwin.
