| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
With the rapid development of modernization, secularization, and urbanization in Germany during the “long 19th century” and the establishment of modern social programs by the government and citizens, either within or parallel to the traditional church poor relief, there was a shift in the spiritual grounding of those involved in social practice from a Christian love of one’s neighbor to a civic ethos of support for the socially vulnerable as public welfare. However, beyond the framework of nation-states social practice as a faith-based work of love continued to play a key role and held meaning in the global development and networking of modern social programs.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の学術的意義は、現代ドイツ福祉国家の前史とも言える19世紀において、慈善や社会事業の中心的担い手となった市民の動機に着目し、信仰や宗教的世界観に支えられた社会的実践がもつ歴史的意義を明らかにしたことで、福祉国家史研究のみならず、ドイツ市民層・自由主義史研究にも新たな知見をもたらしたことにある。
本研究の社会的意義は、現代福祉国家が直面する危機の本質を、実践主体の動機の観点から問い直すことで、福祉国家の歴史的限界のみならず、その可能性の一端を示し、将来への展望をひらいたことにある。
