Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we aimed to clarify the axis of Japanese thought and researched by crossing representative texts from the viewpoints of Kami, Buddhism, and Heaven. We specifically tried the following: extracted the prototype of the syncretism of Shintoism and Buddhism based on the comparison of the ideas of rituals for Kami depicted in Kojiki and Nihon shoki; explored the elements relating to the concept of Kami and Buddhism in Gukansho; and considered the author Jien's existential verity, or systematically analyzed the perception of time of medieval samurai; clarified the uniqueness of the figure of Shakyamuni Buddha described in Konjaku Monogatari-shu; comprehensively examined Jinsai's ethics regarding human relations, Chikamatsu's thought of Buddhism and human existence, and the reception of Hagakure in the modern period. As a result, we listed 1 edited book, 7 papers, 2 presentations at conferences, 10 presentations at the research meetings of this group, and 1 trial translation.

倫理学・日本倫理思想史

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

諸宗教の共存・共生が求められる現在、神仏共存原理の解明は普遍的な意義を有するものである。また日本人の神・仏・天共存的な宗教的感性がもつ倫理観、即ち「日本思想の基軸」は従来否定されるのみで十分に解明されておらず、日本における倫理学的思索の土台となることができなかった。本研究の学術的意義・社会的意義は、神仏関係思想のうちから普遍性と特殊性を繋げる柔軟な倫理学的原理を抽出することを試み、またそれと同時に代表的な古典テキストに即した研究を行うことで日本思想の基軸の一端を明らかにしたことにあるといえる。
