An untouchable area in human life

8) An untouchable area in human life

9) Life studies approaches to various disciplines
I think it is an interesting idea to introduce some basic ideas of life studies to various disciplines or movements, such as psychology, nursing, sociology, religion, ethics, cultural studies, and so on. Life studies would probably be able to stimulate those disciplines, and as a result, fruitful dialogues might occur. I tried this in the book, Life Studies Approaches to Bioethics (2001), and criticized the framework of contemporary bioethics from the viewpoint of life studies. I am thinking of a similar approach to ecology. Many other approaches will be possible.
