In recent years, we are faced with a crisis of the modern Western Idea of Religious Tolerance emerging with a rising of antiforeignism in Western Countries. This Research, on the basis of this crisis, analyzed the rising of the Idea of Religious Tolerance in the early modern European society, through which trying to revise the modern historical view about that Idea.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の学術的意義としては、ともすれば単線的な発展過程もしくは単純な断絶という構図で理解されてきた、近世の「宗教的寛容」概念と近代のそれとの関係について、より複雑な実態を指摘した点に求められる。また、「寛容」概念形成を巡る複雑なプロセスが、近世社会の実態としての宗派集団内の多様な個人のあり方、宗派間関係の多様な形態と連動して形成されてきた可能性について指摘した点についても、一定の意義を持つものと考える。 社会的意義としては、近世における「寛容」や「信仰の自由」を巡る議論が、現代の宗教と社会を巡る諸問題とも相通じる側面を有していたことから、それらの諸問題を考える際の素材になり得ると考える。
