Once again and now for 19 years, San Diego has the exclusive honor of presenting the Kyoto Prize laureates and their lifetime achievements to a North American audience. The Kyoto Prize Symposium illuminates the vision of the Inamori Foundation, and the 35th Kyoto Prize laureates – Dr. Ching Tang, Dr. James Gunn and Mrs. Ariane Mnouchkine – are outstanding examples of what human beings can accomplish with new ideas and the desire to make the world a better place. We pay tribute to the Inamori Foundation for recognizing 111 extraordinary individuals over the years who have made tremendous contributions to society through technology, science and the arts. This benefit gala officially opens the Symposium. Our theme is: The Kyoto Prize: Celebrating Outstanding Lifetime Achievement. Tonight, in addition to celebrating our laureates, we will award major Kyoto Prize Symposium Scholarships to six college-bound high school seniors from San Diego and Tijuana. We believe these scholarships will inspire our students to fulfill their potential by remembering the mission of the Kyoto Prize, the Inamori Foundation, and its founder Dr. Kazuo Inamori, to work toward the greater good of society. We are all extremely honored that the Inamori Foundation chose San Diego to be the home of this important event. To the Foundation and to those who have given of their time and resources – our co-host universities, our sponsors, our community leaders, and all volunteers – we extend our deep gratitude and the gratitude of the community. We especially thank Dr. Kazuo Inamori, without whom there would be no Kyoto Prize. In your program, you will find a reprint of a portion of Dr. Inamori’s original message upon creating the foundation in 1984. We salute and welcome the head of the Inamori Foundation delegation to San Diego this week – Ms. Shinobu Inamori-Kanazawa. As President of the Foundation, she has taken on a most vital role in the success of the Kyoto Prize – in Kyoto, San Diego and now also in Oxford. Along with our other Inamori Foundation friends from Kyoto, we again thank all participating in this week’s symposium. Thank you! To all our guests at the 2020 Kyoto Prize Symposium events, we hope the laureates’ life work and presentations captivate and inspire you! Sincerely, Ray McKewon Chairman, Kyoto Symposium Organization The Philosophy of the Kyoto Prize An excerpt of the inaugural message from Dr. Kazuo Inamori I have two major reasons for establishing the Kyoto Prize. First, in keeping with my belief that we on Earth have no higher calling than to serve the greater good of humankind and society, I wish in some way to repay the global community that has sustained and nurtured me all these years. Second, I would like to redress the relative lack of formal recognition for highly dedicated but unsung researchers. At the very least, I hope to honor people who have made extraordinary contributions to science, civilization, and spirituality, and thereby motivate them and others like them to reach still greater heights. I am convinced that the future of humanity can be assured only through a balance of scientific progress and spiritual depth. Though today’s technology-based civilization is advancing rapidly, there is a deplorable lag in inquiry into our spiritual nature. I believe that the world is composed of mutual dichotomies — pluses and minuses, such as the yin and the yang. Only through the awareness and nourishment of both sides of these dualisms can we achieve a complete and stable equilibrium. The progression or expansion of any one aspect alone without the other will inevitably upset the natural balance of the universe and contribute to human suffering. It is my sincere hope that the Kyoto Prize may serve to encourage the cultivation of both our scientific and spiritual sides. At the same time, nothing would be more gratifying than if it provided some small impetus for the construction of a new philosophical paradigm. - 5 - The Kyoto Prize Symposium Presents the KYOTO PRIZE SYMPOSIUM GALA HONORING THE 35TH ANNUAL KYOTO PRIZE LAUREATES AND BENEFITING THE 2020 KYOTO PRIZE SCHOLARshIps TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 2020 WELCOME Opening Ceremonies and Gala Chair, Kazuo Koshi, Managing Executive Officer, MUFG Bank, Ltd.

  • Lecture Given by Dr. Kazuo Inamori, Director Emeritus of Ritsumeikan Inamori Philosophy Research Center
    Lecture given by Dr. Kazuo Inamori, Director Emeritus of Ritsumeikan Inamori Philosophy Research Center The Significance of Rita no Kokoro for Business Administration (June 25, 2015 at Ritsumeikan University Osaka Ibaraki Campus) 1. Is Rita no Kokoro necessary for corporate management? Today, in commemoration of the opening of the Ritsumeikan Inamori Philosophy Research Center, I would like to speak about the significance of Rita no Kokoro for business administration and share with you the idea of rita, or “altruism,” which constitutes the very basis of my management philosophy. I am pleased to see so many people here today, including university researchers and business managers. Many of you may think that the idea of Rita no Kokoro, or “altruistic mind,” is simply ethical and moralistic, and it is irrelevant to corporate management. In fact, researchers and business managers often ask me, “While you stress the importance of ‘Rita no Kokoro’ for corporate management, isn’t it naive to maintain that we should be kind and considerate to others in doing business, given the nature of capitalist society in which companies are struggling to survive the intense market competition?” My answer to this frequently asked question is that for corporate managers, Rita no Kokoro is perfectly compatible with striving to improve corporate performance. As a corporate manager myself, I believe that acting for the benefit of others with the mindset of Rita no Kokoro and enhancing our moral sense is the key to successful corporate administration. I will discuss this belief in more detail in light of my experience at Kyocera, KDDI and Japan Airlines, respectively.

    „This reckless flight, where is this bound to take us?” /Imre Madách/ photo: © V. Vial mitem.hu • nemzetiszinhaz.hu/mitem • facebook.com/mitembudapest • #mitem PREFACE VI. MITEM • APRIL 11–MAY 5 • 2019 DANCE BETWEEN DIFFERENCE AND UNITY ”This reckless flight, where is this bound to take us?” /Imre Madách/ But really – where are we headed? Hungarian playwright Imre Madách’s prophetic play The Tragedy of Man is coming to life in front of our very eyes in the photos we see everyday and on the television screen, one scene at a time scene, or perhaps even all at the same time. Who can say where we are at the moment? In the eskimo scene of ecological catastrophe, the phalanstery of the farmer searching for a way out, or in-between the two, in empty space? And the scene in Rome? With his production of Uncle Vanya, Lithuanian director Rimas Tuminas (coming to MITEM for the third time) freed the stage from a sense of coziness, creating instead a battlefield of passions, broken dreams, and lost hopes. The Prague scene in Madách’s play? After his production of Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle, Michael Thalheimer brings us A Streetcar Named Desire, a story of the downfall of two people in a society that takes no responsibility. The London scene? The production of Sons of A Bitch by the recently deceased Eimuntas Nekrošius portrays the innermost essence of the Lithuanian people, their ancient origins, and deep-rooted survival instincts. All the scenes in one? As one reads in a review of the Odin Teatret’s production of Trilogy (first performed all parts together in Europe at MITEM), “the tree of history is growing: it is fed by life and death.

    I NFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC The Crafoord Prize 2005 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy 2005 to James Gunn, Princeton University, USA, James Peebles, Princeton University, USA, and Martin Rees, University of Cambridge, UK, “for contributions towards understanding the large-scale structure of the Universe”. How was the Universe formed? One of the most obvious facts about the Universe is that it shows a wealth of struc- ture on all scales from planets, stars and galaxies up to clusters of galaxies and super-clusters extending over several hundred million light years. Astronomi- cal observations have shown that the galaxies are not evenly distributed, but are mainly found in clusters and enormous filaments (Fig. 1). Often this is referred to as the ’cosmic web’. The origin and history of this structure has long been one of the most important problems for astronomy and cosmology. The recipients of this year’s Crafoord Prize have all made fundamental contributions to the dramatic increase in our understanding of how this large-scale structure was formed. The first traces of structure in the Universe can be seen in the fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background radiation about 380,000 years after Big Bang (Fig. 2). The origin of the fluctuations can, however, be traced back to epochs much earlier in the history of the Universe when small quantum fluctuations gave rise Fig. 1. Two dimensional distribution of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The plot corresponds to a thin slice in the ’vertical’ direction, but covering most of the sky in the other direction.

In my role as Director of the R&D Center, I envisioned and developed products, which was an unusual job assignment. The double workload increased response speed and R&D productivity. In other words, I was obliged to quicken my pace. The current problems in our R&D activities are low yields of newly developed products and slow development speed. Some R&D personnel may disagree with this assessment for the following reasons: (i) they have confidence in their achievements and are unwilling to accept such a low opinion; (ii) they believe that yields of new products are naturally low; and (iii) they are indifferent or believe that developing new products is always difficult.
