| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果として、①解釈論に対するもの、②憲法理論に対するもの、③比較憲法に基づく研究手法に関するもの、の3点を挙げることができる。本研究は、①上記のような新たな観点を信教の自由および政教分離原則の解釈論に付け加え、日本国憲法の宗教条項の解釈論の発展に貢献している。②本研究は上記のような解釈論的な成果の背後にある憲法理論として、従来のリベラリズム憲法学を「承認」と「対話」の観点からアップデートする理論的試みのも提案している。③本研究は日本の憲法学にとって研究対象とされることの少ないカナダ憲法の判例・学説を体系的に紹介することで、比較憲法の視野を広げることに寄与している。
