Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research is concerned with important but forgotten or unknown aspects of intellectual exchange among Japanese and German social scientists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Japanese students learned German social theories and economics for the sake of understanding the situation and problems of the society and economy of their own land, because they considered German social theory more appropriate to analyze the situation of Japan than English or French one. H. Uyenishi studied sociology under F. Toennies in Kiel, but later became active as a correspondent of a Japanese newspaper during the World War I, and taught sociology in Osaka University after the World War II. Y. Sakatani’s notes of K. Rathgen’s lectures show us the interest of this German economist in modern society. Theory and method of M. Weber developed through his argument about University problems in Germany, and young Japanese social scientists learned his works and modified his theory.
