战后日本学术界对新兴宗教的研究

Abstract:Since the mid-1960s，Japanese researchers have stopped to criticize the ideology of the Mikado state from the rationalism and liberalism of Western Europe and switched to understand Japan’s modernization from the mass thought and popular religion. For example，Yasumaru Yoshio argues that although there is no idea of social transformation in the popular morality which contains the Confucian morality in Japan’s samurai class，it reflects some opportunity for farmers and businessmen to self-discipline themselves. Takagi Hiro places the emerging religious movement in the mass ideological movement in Modern Japan and thinks that the Mikado absolutism education movement carried out by the Meiji government as well as the liberal civil rights movement，the Left-wing Movement and the workers’ movement in the post-war revolutionary group should be regarded as top-down mass education and mobilization. On the contrary，the emerging new religions are examples of the ideological movement of the lower class. The researchers of new religions，coming from such fields as religion，sociology，cultural anthropology，psychology，history，folklore and literature，have promoted the research level of new religions throughout diversified methods.
