So many suffering and injured people are living with strong needs of physical, emotional and spiritual care in the world today. We have to reach out for such people if we would like to take care of them. However, it should be done without violating their religious and spiritual dignity. How would this be possible in cross-cultural situations? Henri Dunant founded the International Red Cross for this purpose in 1863. The activities by the Red Cross in medical contexts today aim to take care of needs of people regardless of their cultural backgrounds. Theoretically this is what is claimed, but how is it so in reality? This paper focuses on various religions (both traditional and new, including spirituality of individuals) and care in medical contexts beyond cultures, considering the reality of the history of the Red Cross. We have to wedge our way into both historical and practical aspects to solve this difficult and important puzzle. In this paper, I will deal with these issues while giving specific examples of historical claims in articles.

論文/ArticlesThis article focuses on the treatment of religion by humanistic psychologists, especially Abraham Maslow (1908-1970), the founding father of that branch of psychology. Humanistic psychology is known as "the third force" in psychology in the mid-twentieth century, after psycho-analysis and behaviorism. This branch of psychology is distinguished from the other two by its focus on healthy-minded humans and their latent talents. Humanistic psychology also discusses religion more vigorously than before, which shall be a major focus of this article. Though I mainly discuss Maslow's theories, I also try to clarify the differences between his theories and those of two other humanistic psychologists, Gordon Allport and Erich Fromm. As a result, I conclude that Maslow began to recognize the role of religion after he developed his famous theory on "peak experience" for the sake of increasing this theory's versatility. While Allport and Fromm see religion as the most important psychological factor, Maslow regards it as only a secondary factor. Moreover, as Wakimoto (1967) and Nishihira (2002) point out, Maslow considers only the internal manifestation of religiosity and almost ignores the role of organized religion. Since his references to religion are too weak to claim his work to be a theory of religion, this article suggests that Maslow's arguments about religion are subordinate to his main theory on peak experience.

論文/ArticlesMost studies of Japanese ancient religious traditions regard Nihon ryōiki, the earliest collection of Buddhist folk-literature compiled by 9th century Yakushiji Buddhist monk Kyōkai, as a text which indicates the decline of jingi worship at the time. The main aim of this paper is to criticize this view by showing two implied premises which many scholars unconsciously presuppose without basis: a substantialist understanding of Buddhist and jingi worship, and undue emphasis on the editor's intention to indoctrinate people with Buddhist belief. Regarding the former, several scholars mistakenly interpret non-Buddhist folk literature, particularly the folk literature called "dōjō-hōshi setsuwa," as stories which show a Buddhist element in the logic of "inga ōhō". With reference to these theories, some scholars relate jingi worship with the form of community in ancient Japan, which often is not depicted in detail. Such studies define "Shinto" somewhat substantially as an entity that is dichotomous with and overwhelmed by "Buddhism." However, the materials do not demonstrate the confrontation of "Shinto" and "Buddhism." Moreover, it is difficult to understand folk literature in Nihon Ryoiki through the substantialist categories of "Shinto" and "Buddhism". Regarding the latter presupposition, a cautious reading of the text's preface written by editor Kyōkai suggests that it is impossible to assume that he intended only to collect Buddhist folklore by which he expected to cultivate people's righteous consciousness. In fact, he also intended to collect fantastical stories regardless of whether they exhibited Buddhist tendencies or not. Behind this intention, it can be said that in addition to the indoctrination of people, satisfying his interest in mysteries (ryōi) was one of his purposes in compiling the text. We thus cannot take this text as having only a Buddhist character. Nihon ryōiki is, however, regarded as the material that contains various ancient beliefs. In light of the aforementioned arguments, two directions for future study can be delineated. Firstly, scholars must perform a detailed analysis of relationship between belief in Nihon ryōiki and jingi worship, without using the substantially defined category of "Shinto," by conducting a detailed analysis of Shinto-like elements in folk literature. Secondly, we must provide comprehensive understandings of various beliefs, for instance "hyōsō shinkō," which cannot be classified as Buddhism or Shinto. By these methods, we can illuminate another, non-Buddhist aspect of ancient Japanese religious tradition.
