 note = {論文(Article), The Amendment ofJapanese Fundamentals of Education Act in 2006 still advocates the idea of individual dignity and defines the purpose of education as the full development of personality. This individualistic discipline at school has clashed ever since World War II inevitably with the traditional anti-individualistic one at home. As a result Japanese people till now has not been able to get rid of an ethical problem with their public education and the public spirit. In this paper I would like to find a clue to solution for this problem through the conceptions of Confucian contextualism and of Kant's categorical imperative.  Keyword：full development of personality, public spirit, Kant's categorical imperative, Japanese personalism, American individualism,  Confucian contextualism},
