インドの昔話における「争いの方略」――ゲーム論的分析――

抄録

There are various conflicts and attack-defense scenarios in Indian fairy tales. Regarding Jātaka tales, the most famous Indian fairy tales in Japan, edifying stories are presented to children as World literature and as Buddhist fairy tales. To clarify the morality and edifying aspects of the Jātaka, I analyze the stories based on Game Theory. To compare them, I also analyze stories from the Brāhmaṇas and Japanese fairy tales. As a result, the morality and edifying aspects of the Jātaka stories simply reflect the players’ behavior and attack-defense strategy.
