Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focuses on the paragraphs(科段, kadan) that commentaries written in Japan in the early modern period attached to Abhidharmakosha(倶舎論, Kusha-ron), a doctrinal treatise of the early Buddhist sects in India and analyse the paragraph information in several commentaries using digital humanities methods in order to examine the way for analysing the characteristics of these commentaries. In this study, a method of describing the kadan of the Kusha-ron using the xml tag set was examined. Furthermore, by comparing the kadan in several commentaries, the study clarified some of the characteristics of structuring by kadan in various texts, and explored the emergence of modern Buddhist studies in early modern Buddhist studies.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近世日本の仏教教団においては仏教文献研究が高度に発達し、そこで現れた近代仏教学の萌芽は、ヨーロッパからインド学を導入する素地を形成した。しかしながら、その近世における仏教学の実態はほとんど解明されておらず、仏教学史上、そして世界哲学史上の意義についても詳らかでない。本研究が近世仏教学のなかでも中心的分野の一つである倶舎学に焦点をあわせ、その研究の基礎構築を試みたことは、仏教学がその研究の枠組みを批判するための足がかりとして、さらには東アジアの学知の一伝統を解明するための基礎としての意義を持つ。
