| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project researched the debate between the anti-religion movement and Buddhism in modern Japan. In order to reconstruct an overall image of this debate, I surveyed, uncovered, and analyzed historical documents.
In doing so, the following became clear. (1) Marxism’s criticism of religion focused on the social position of individuals professionally involved in religion. (2) Buddhists’ reply to this criticism of religion emphasized religion’s internal and spiritual dimension. (3) Therefore, the two sides of this debate took place in completely different theoretical dimensions. (4) The anti-religion movement impacted the religious world because dissatisfaction regarding the social position and economic advantage of individuals professionally involved in religion existed widely throughout society.
