島地大等の仏教研究法と真宗学

抄録

This paper examines Shimaji Daitō’s 島地大等 methodology in Buddhist studies. Shimaji insists on compatibility of traditional methodology with new methodology of Western origin.

Shimaji calls his methodology “Subjective Clericalism.” It is also identified with Shinran’s 親鸞 way. I believe that his methodology and notion of Shinran contribute the construction of new methodology in Shin Buddhist Studies.
