论日本近代民族主义的思想起源——读会泽安《新论》

On The Intellectual Origins of Modern Japanese Nationalism——Enlightenments from Yasysi Aizawa's Xinlon

近代民族主义的形成有其历史的原因。在吸收相关理论的基础上,从亚洲的历史事实出发去研究亚洲近代民族主义的起源与形成,是一个重要的课题。会泽安在《新论》中对世界形势的分析主要来自他对西洋列强的军事威胁的认识。对海防问题的思考与以"祭政一致"为主要特点的"国体"论构成了《新论》的核心内容。《新论》作为一份思想文本,对明治维新以及近代日本国家的走向产生了影响,为日本近代民族主义的形成提供了理论基础。重读《新论》有助于我们历史地考察日本近代民族主义的思想起源。

History plays a role in the formation of the modern nationalism. This paper, through the analysis of Yasysi Aizawa＇s Xinlon＇s, intends to find out the intellectual origins of the modern nationalism of Japan. Yasysi Aizawa＇s analysis on the world, in his book Xinlon, is mainly based on the military threat of western power upon Japan. The core issues in his book retrospect naval defense and polity of caesaropapism. Xinlon provides the intellec- tual foundation for the formation of the modern nationalism of Japan and has great influence upon the development of Japan after the Meiji Restoration. Xinlon is helpful for us to review the intellectual origins of modern nationalism of Japan from the historical perspective.
