Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I analyzed the Confucianism thought of Kaitokudo school. Especially I analyzed the aspect that Confucianism thought of Kaitokudo school grows from compromise between ZHU Xi's thought and WANG Yang ming's thought to reconciliation both of them. The Confucianism thought of Kaitokudo school sublimated to "practical thought"- the useful study for realistic political practice -. In Confucianism thought history of Japanese early modern times, it is the historical significance of Kaitokudo school confucians that they proposed the concept of "practical thought".
