On behalf of Tamotsu Nishizawa and Atsushi Komine,
I post the following sad news for western readers:
Yukihiro Ikeda
It is with deep sadness and regret that we have to report the sudden passing of Professor Yuichi Shionoya, Emeritus Professor of Hitotsubashi Univesity, on 25th August, 2015, in Tokyo.
He died of lung cancer at the age of 83. Professor Shionoya had served as the President of Hitotsubashi University from 1989 to 1992; and subsequently as the Director of the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research from 1995 to 2000.
Professor Shionoya was an eminent scholar of Joseph A. Schumpeter, and he served as the President of the International Schumpeter Society from 1990 to 1992. In addition to his Schumpeter and the Idea of Social Science: A Metatheoretical Study (Cambridge University Press, 1997), he co-edited with Mark Perlman, Schumpeter in the History of Ideas (University of Michigan Press, 1994). His other important works include The Soul of the German Historical School. Methodological Essays on Schmoller, Weber, and Schumpeter (Springer, 2005); Economy and Morality. The Philosophy of the
Welfare State (Edward Elgar, 2005). He also edited The German Historical School: The Historical and Ethical Approach to Economics (Routledge, 2001) for the Japanese Society of the History of Economic Thought; and recently co-edited Marshall and Schumpeter on Evolution: Economic
Sociology of Capitalist Development (Edward Elgar, 2008).
He was awarded the Japanese Academy Prize for his economic philosophical works, in particular, Structure of Values: Utility vs Right (1984, in Japanese), and he left his last book, Economic Thought of Romanticism: Arts, Ethics, and History (2012, in Japanese), a part of which was lately published as “Ruskin’s Romantic Triangle: Neither Wealth Nor Beauty But Life” in The History of Economic Ideas, 2014.
Professor Shionoya had made links with scholars around the world, particularly in the United States and Europe. He will be much missed.
