Outline of Final Research Achievements

In December 2021, with the help of Kansai University Law Research Institute, a large-scale symposium was launched concerning to this research topic, and the results were published as a proceedings. Unfortunately, due to the stagnation of research caused by the corona crisis, we did not realize the supposed final goal of publishing a collection of papers. But thanks to the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research offered again we have g\begun another new joint research which develops this research program concluded in this year. So, we aim to publish a collection of papers suggested above within this year based on the results of this continued research.Trough this continued research project, we would like to try to discuss more profoundly how Machiavelli's thought, which is usually regarded as the beginning of the secularization of politics, uses religion as a fundamental driving force, and, more generally, how religion plays a decisive role in the contemporary political phenomenon.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の申請前後に国際外交の耳目を賑わせていたのが所謂イスラム国の台頭であった。また直近のウクライナ戦争の規定要因として、ロシア正教文化圏とローマ・カトリック文化圏の文明の使用等を指摘する向きもある。まだ我が国における政治政党と宗教団体の依存関係を巡る論争も記憶に新しい。そのように一旦脱宗教化したと思われた近代政治が、依然宗教的なものの呪縛にとらわれていることを目の当たりにしたとき、近代政治における政治的なものと宗教的なものの相関を、従来の政治の脱宗教化の議論の成果を止揚しつつ、より柔軟なものとして再構築することは、今後の政治の姿を見通す上でも極めて現代的意義を持つものと考えられる。
