근대 천황상 확립과 ‘황도주의(皇道主義)’ 교육에 관한 고찰

Abstract

This essay is about to bring a matter regarding with where Japanese’ peculiar notions of nationalism and worldview come from. I intend to examine the meaning of the educational ideology of Meiji’s early era, represented ‘The principle of Imperial Way’, which reduced individual’s subjectivity. This work will help to clear out how modern Japanese’ schismatic notion which contained a reasonable individual and a loyal member of a nation-state has formed by the educational ideology. In specific, I will examine the rise, development and failure of ‘The principle of Imperial Way’ proclaimed in 1872, the first educational policy in Japan, on the view of history of educational thoughts and then the process in regards to the establishment of civilized public education. Thereby the structure and the limit of scheme named ‘National polity thought’ emerge in empirical manner. The result of this study will imply a kind of clue for investigations in terms of the structures of Japanese’ analogous nationalism and their worldview notion, which seem to be observed over again, showing that the neo-nationalism embeded recently in Japanese society has not been newly formed in 1990s but has been transmitted from the era of 19th century without a rupture.
