Research Abstract |
National spirit in a capitalistic state has two aspects: spirit promotes the capitalism, and capitalism regulates the spirit. Max Weber inquired into the former aspect through the study of ascetic protestantism, and Karl Rathgen investigated the latter aspect in the modern Japan. They learned from each other and wished to reconstruct the national spirit of Germany after the First World War. Similarly Eiichi Shibusawa hoped to establish commercial morality and sound national spirit in Japan.
