| Research Abstract |
This study is based on that Japan and Germany have many common points and contrast aracteristics in their tide on thoughts and their historical background, in the times called "modern" from around 1870 to World War II. I clarified the content of the "Volksgeist" theory from "national awareness" to "overcoming of modern times" by considering the article of the critics which received German thoughts and culture through the research on philosophy and literature, and embodied in modern Japanese Zeitgeist. Then I pointed out a correlation between the uplift of "nationalism" and the progress of "folklore".
