 note = {Over the past century, science and technology have marvelously brought about a pleasant life to many people on the globe. On the other hand, mankind is still facing many serious and unsolved problems, such as international disputes and terrorism, expanding inequality of economic welfare, global warming, and effective control of artificial intelligence, to name a few.
 　In order to solve these problems, an innovative international research project has recently been proposed which asserts a new value of “self-examination and altruism” (自省利他) as a key to human behavior. It does not simply assume that man is a selfish existence but assumes that man naturally have an altruistic motive (利他), so that self-examination (自省) becomes important to reveal that aspect of human nature. This international research project intends to utilize the knowledge not only of humanities but also of social and natural sciences, and try to access the viability of the concept of “self-examination and altruism” as a new principle of democracy. 
　The research group, coordinated by Dr Hideaki Nakatani of Ryukoku University in Kyoto, consists of about ten Japanese and overseas researchers including a Harvard University researcher. The project is expected to extend for two to five years. The author (Okabe) has been invited to participate in this project and submitted his research proposal hereby attached., 【International Research Proposal】},
