| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In modern China, dialogue among various religions took place in various forms, but the most noteworthy was the so-called "five religions’ unification" theory, which advocated the integration of Christianity and Islam in addition to Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, as advocated by new religious groups such as the Daoyuan and Tongshengshe. This project takes up specific examples of religious movements in Southeast Asian Chinese societies, colonial Vietnam, and British Malaya, and examines them with attention to their continuity with religious movements in mainland China as well as their uniqueness, in order to clarify the historical background of the emergence of the theory of religious universalism as represented by the theory of "five religions’ unification".

本研究プロジェクトにおける主要な成果は、東南アジア華人社会において宗教運動の果たした社会的役割に光を当て、1930年代に入り、道院などによる五教帰一論が登場する前提として、儒教・仏教・道教の三教合一型の宗教運動が19世紀後半から東南アジア華人社会に浸透していたこと、そうした三教合一運動をベースとしつつ、植民地期において、さまざまな普遍主義的理念と対話・交流を重ねる中で五教帰一論が登場していったことを明らかにしたことにある。
