메이지 일본에 있어서의 "애국심"론의 형성과 전개

Abstract

consider how patriotism, one of the main ideology of western political thought, was translated, and was related with the evolution of nationalism or cosmopolitanism in Meiji era of modern Japan. Famous civilian thinkers, FUKUZAWA YUKICHI, UEKI EMORI and others, interpreted the intellectual tradition of patriotism as the vital spirit to built the civilized and democratic state, and then exerted themselves to reform the Meiji state by importing its spirit of patriotism positively. In the latter half time of Meiji era, while the governmental power transformed the idea of patriotism to the ruling ideology that meant the subjection and loyalty to Emperor, several progressive thinkers, KINOSHITA NAOE, UCHIMURA KANZOU and others, inherited the intellectual tradition of patriotism, and emphasized its idea as the tough-minded spirit to criticize and resist the mistaken policy of Meiji government.
