山名次郎『社会教育論』の再検討

―山名の思想を参考にして―

抄録

  Yamana's “Shakai Kyoiku Ron (Theory of Social Education)” was firstly titled Shakai Kyoiku. It has been analyzed in many ways, but nobody has related the theory with Yamana himself or his context. I try to relate “Shakai Kyoiku Ron” with Yamana himself.

  Yamana's paper appeared in two journals named “Kojun-Zasshi” and “Hokkaido Kyoiku-Kai Zasshi”. I found three important points. These are “specialization (Bungyo)”, “association” and “social balance theory”. Especially from third one, “social balance theory”, I found the important theory of “Jitsugyo” including agriculture, business, and industry.

  From this we can arrive at a fresh understanding of Yamana's concept of Social Education. The most important point is “Jitsugyo” is a key concept for Yamana, even in the “Shakai Kyoiku Ron”. “Jitsugyo” divides Social education into two parts. The first is called “positive social education” and the other is called “passive social education”. “positive social education” included empowering “Jitsugyo”, in the contrast to the passive one, which in only for controlling morals. This shows that this “Shakai Koiku Ron” was published as a response to the demands for economic growth.
