| Popis: | 金沢大学人間社会研究域歴史言語文化学系 The Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) prompted people to think seriously about how Japan should pursue arole as an important actor on the stage of world politics. Kinoshita Naoe, a pacifist and “socialistic Christian,”vigorously criticized the nationalism that had been gaining power with the rise of Japan’s presence in EastAsia. Many nationalists at that time advocated that Japan can and should play some positive role ininternational affairs in its own manner.In January 1905, Ebina Danjo, a “nationalistic Christian,” published an article in praise of the rapid progressof Japan’s national strength. He admired Japan as the “Empire of the Son of God” to come. He declared that,led by “Japanese Spirit,” the nation was destined to bring the ultimate solution to the critical situation of EastAsia and in turn to that of the whole world. A controversy over “Japanese Spirit” was triggered by KotokuShusui, a socialist, who ridiculed it. Adding to the debate, Kinoshita criticized the acclaim for such spirit asencouraging imperialism. He pointed out that, when adherents of spirit talk of state, they overlook the person,which at any time must be the first unit of concern, even in the heat of enthusiasm for the nation. 出版者の許可を得て登録_20210716 |
