disaster relief by the religious people

In considering disaster and kyosei, (live together), this paper explores the presence of religious people and considers the hypotheses that may be necessary to understand and realize kyosei between religious people’s disaster relief and secular citizens. Examining Habermas's concept of “translation”, it became clear that the religious side had already implemented "translational" ideas into their disaster relief actions, for example distributing supplies. On the other hand, for something "translational", which aimed at coexistence or “kyosei” between religious people and secular citizens, a meta-perspective or a value which is free from the secular rationalism is required. To think that, by reviewing Arendt and considering the possibilities of how the religious can act in a public space, an interactivity between the secular citizen and the religious person through “translation” aiming at kyosei in the public space, is required.
