德川体制与儒教的关系——基于津田学说与丸山学说之比较

Abstract:Maruyama Masao set out in his 1940 article a theory that Neo-Confucianism of the Zhu Xi school became the orthodoxy of the Tokugawa regime. Later the article was included in Maruyama’s 1952 book，and his theory was widely accepted. But prior to Maruyama，Tsuda Soukichi had already brought forth an opposite theory in 1917.According to Tsuda，neither did Tokugawa Ieyasu treat Hayashi Razan as a political advisor，nor did he accept Neo-Confucianism as the Government’s orthodoxy. Tsuda argued that Tokugawa politics，which rooted from warrior class tradition and practical wisdom，had little to do with Confucianism.Historically，Tsuda’s viewpoint is correct，and later Maruyama himself revised his previous theory，proposing a new one in university lectures in 1966 and in 1967，and publishing it in the author’s preface to the English version of Studies in the Intellectual History of Tokugawa Japan in 1974. But it was not until 1983 that this preface was translated into Japanese when the book’s new Japanese edition came out. Therefore，while Maruyama first revised the theory in 1966，it was not until after 17 years later that Japanese readership came to be aware of the fact. Partly because of this reason，Maruyama’s old theory in 1940 sometimes still holds true at home and abroad despite the fact that his theory was revised later.
