Mr. An...how do you consider the serious situation of Japan Protestantism from phenomenological viewpoint?

An;
You know, the westernized mindset compels people to consider a problematical situation a starting point of discussion. As contrasted with it, Phenomenology sticks to the facticity that all things are over when matters appear to the surface. It is because a circumstance in question is not a starting point but a goal line for phenomenology. If once anybody regards a problem as a starting point, he and she will automatically transform the problem into object for their own cognition, which is the 2-dimensional representation set up by conciseness. It follows they are starting to discuss with each after having gone away from the problem itself. But the problem itself, you know, is now happening in the midst of the 3-dimensional world. So it is not likely they will be able to solve the problem by such a westernized mindset. I think this is one of factors that make many discussions over Japan Christianity go around in circles.
