| Research Abstract |
I tried to re-apprehend the history of Japanese political thought at Meiji era from the perspective of "law" or "legal order". Previous studies have not focused on the relationship between traditional Japanese thought and Western thought of law. This study may lead to new understanding about Meiji intellectual history. Particularly, I have focused on two utilitarian philosopher, Nishi Amane and Fukuzawa Yukichi. I clarified the relationship between their "understanding of law" and "utilitarianism".
