Outline of Final Research Achievements

I considered Nakajima Shigeru's political thought. He is one of the leading intellectuals in the interwar period Japan, and known for the thinker who has introduced political pluralism to Japan. In this research, I examined the concept of "community" Nakajima emphasized, and his cognition about "the political",publicness and power in social and political space.
