鷗外とクラウゼヰッツ『戦論』

―「局面眼」(Coup d’oeil)の問題をめぐって―

抄録

　In 1899 Ogai Mori was transferred to an army medical post at Kokura in Kyūshū, a long way from Tokyo. To the officers of the division there Ogai gave a lecture on Clausewitz’s Vom Kriege and translated part of the book into Japanese. He seemed to have been considerably influenced by that book.

　He was especially interested in Clausewitz’s theory on “der reine Widerstand (passive resistance)”，which appears in Vom Kriege. In addition, Ogai was also concerned about the problem of “coup d’ œil” and was influenced by it. “Coup d’ œil” in French means the military eye which is able at a glance to penetrate the conditions of battle.

　An investigation of Ogai’s favorite book Vom Kriege or Hinterlassene Werke des Generals Carl von Clausewitz über den Krieg und Kriegführung, Berlin, Dümmler, 1832-34, as well as an examination of some of Ogai’s other works will make clear how great an interest he took in “coup d’œil"

　In trying to grasp the core of Ogai’s thought (résignation), we can not fail to notice the problem of “coup d’ œil”，and his concept of “résignation (teinen or mikiri)” represents the deepest penetration of his thought.
