The purpose of this paper is to reconsider Motoori Norinaga’s view of death from the basic principle(myō-ri)of his thought and the understanding of the world after death(yomi)in the Kojiki-Den. Many scholars think Norinaga’s view of death as a standpoint of resignation and sadness. However Norinaga was interested in after his death. He planned his grave and a funeral by himself. This paper aim not to integrate Norinaga’s view of death that many scholars conducted but to solve the reason why Norinaga had positive view of death. Norinaga’s image in Kojiki-Den of the world after death(yomi)was based on the basic principle(myō-ri)of his thought. This image was not only negative. There was possibility to be positive for image of the world after death. Norinaga was convinced that basic principle(myō-ri)that “even if there are evils, finally evils can’t defeat goodness” was omnipresent. Therefore Norinaga attempted to read that evil of the world after death(yomi)eventually changed to goodness from Kojiki’s story in his work Kojiki-Den. Norinaga identified it with Susanō who control the world after death(yomi)changed his character evil to goodness. And Norinaga thought the world after death(yomi)where was the source of evil and death as also the source of goodness. Therefore Norinaga was convinced the basic principle(myō-ri)that changed evil to goodness applicable for death.

本稿は平田篤胤(一七七六―一八四三・安永五―天保十四)の思想における、ウブスナ神という存在に注目し、篤胤の思想においてウブスナ神が担った役割を捉えなおす事を目的とする。その際、篤胤が近世社会におけるウブスナ神の受容から発展させた逸脱を捉える。また、篤胤のウブスナ神に関する語りを民俗や怪異の探求という視点のみで捉えるのではなく、篤胤が神話の解釈を基に創造したコスモロジーにおける、ウブスナ神の位置や役割を明らかにすることに本稿の目的がある。篤胤は世界生成の根源神であるムスビ二神の意志に基づき、オホクニヌシが人間の死後を掌り、そしてその役割をウブスナ神に委譲したと考えたのである。本稿の結論は、篤胤が近世人の日常生活に身近なウブスナ神を媒介として、自らを含む民衆一人一人の生死を、『古史伝』で創造したコスモロジーへと架橋することを可能としたということである。
