| Research Abstract |
It is generally said that the "view of sexual love" is changed from sanctity t to brutality in modern times in Japan. Researching to reformulations of "view of sexual love" in the perspective of "view of life", we can clarify that it has to be said that the both of sanctity and brutality have been exist side by side and made complexity from Tokugawa period to contemporary Japan, although these both has been changed in Meiji era. When we watch from the idea in Japanese myth to pornographies, the both clearly existed in Tokugawa period. And the reformulation of "view of life" influenced by biology and evolutionism in Meiji generalized the notion of "sexual love" by biological instinct. Although it is said that the feature of reception of biological evolutionism in Japan is the confusion with social evolutionism, that confusion also occurred in Europe especially in America. In Japan these both evolutionisms looked as the theory of "heaven", and that is the feature in Japan. And the notion of "sexual love" by biological instinct was looked as brutality and wide spread by "naturalism" in Japanese literature, but was looked as sanctity of act of "universal life" and spread by the "life-centrism" movement. Standing on this "life-centrism," Kuriyagawa Hakuson insisted the sanctity of sexual love to be turn from the brutality in modern notion reformed from sanctity in the ancient and medieval age. This historical perspective by Kuriagawa Hakuson was spread and became as general notion. In the fact, those both of the "view of sexual love" has been existed after the Kuriagawa's discriptin to contemporary Japan.
