• Resumen

  • The key motifs of Hiromatsu Wataru’s philosophical project were inspired by the thought of Karl Marx and Marxism as well as by the philosophical implications of modern physical science. This research note presents a broad outline of Hiromatsu’s philosophy as it unfolded in its major thematic areas: the general philosophical theory of what he calls the “fourfold structure,” his innovative reading of Marx with a focus on the idea of “reification,” and his interpretive approach to Einstein’s theory of relativity.

    In particular, it seeks to clarify how his arguments in these seemingly disparate fields are in fact closely interconnected through the theme of intersubjectivity and the critique of reification.
