Some recent studies of religion show that the concept of 'religion' is formed through the historical practices of modern Europe and what is called 'the essence of religion' is only a historical construct. This paper draws a comparison between Paul Tillich and Ernst Cassirer from the view of their concepts of religion. Tillich, who is a transcendent realist, considers religion to be the essence of culture, constructed by the religious reality and cultural functions of human beings. Cassirer, a critical idealist, thinks that religion is differentiated from myth, an original symbolic form of the human spirit, and becomes independent and autonomous as a cultural field in which emotion makes a critical role. Their concepts of religion differ, but they are alike in their conceptual arrangement. They suggest that emotion and culture are two critical points of religion in the modern age.

This paper explores the political role of human sciences in a nation state by interpreting the thoughts of Wilhelm Dilthey, who is a founder of the philosophy of human sciences, and Watsuji Testuro, who is an exponent of ethics and cultural history in Japan and a follower of Dilthey’s hermeneutical philosophy. The works of Dilthey and Watsuji are sometimes criticized for trying to give their own nation state legitimacy. Such criticisms are not so much due to their ideological stands as to the characteristic of the hermeneutical human sciences. The hermeneutical human sciences rest on the premise that the external facts have internal meanings that people can interpret from them and with which they feel their own identities. These sciences are apt to play the role that religions have formerly played to states. Dilthey has constructed the German spirit from the words of poets and philosophers from the late 18th century to the early 19th century and has formed the conceptual arrangement of human sciences especially on the basis of the religious thought of Schleiermacher. Watsuji has written the history of thought on the reverence for the Emperor in Japan and has founded the ethics of human relationship. Historians and philosophers, who pursue human sciences, must be called to account their own political role because of their works that are needed to compensate nation states for their lack of legitimacy with hermeneutical meanings.

本研究では、今後の日本における市民型教養のあり方を探るために、日本、イギリス、フランス、ドイツ、アメリカにおける<教養>の思想を歴史的に解明した。研究に際しては、思想を比較の視座から立体的に捉えることに留意するとともに、政治的教養という点を強く意識した。研究の結果、抽象的知識ばかりでなく実践的な行為や所作のあり方までを教養に取り入れようとする興味深い企てが、様々な歴史的文脈の中で息づいていたことが確認できた。
