Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近代世界ではプロテスタントの登場が、中世の教会主体の経済倫理を脱却して、近代経済倫理、つまり資本主義の時代の幕を開いた.キリスト教文化圏外で、唯一日本だけが独自の価値観(大乗経)をもとに、歴史変化に対応して幕末明治の近代化・工業化に成功した。 19世紀後半の欧米諸列強のアジアへの植民地侵略の中で、独自のダイナミズムで国家モデルを変更して近代化・工業化に成功した。第2次世界大戦で焦土と化しながらも復活した。さらに現実には地震、台風、津波等の天災に遭遇しながらも進化していく日本主義とは何かを解明したのが研究意図である。そこに第8代エルギン伯爵に象徴されるスコットランドの思想・哲学があげられる。
