戦時下における心身の問題 : 三橋喜久雄を事例として

抄録

The important point concerning the historical study of mind-body oneness during Asia and Pacific War in Japan is to specify the process how the mind-body oneness logically related suicide attacks in japanese army and navy. The purpose of this study is to consider the problem of mind and body during Asia and Pacific War in Japan. I focus on Kikuo Mihashi (1888-1969), a very famous scientist of physical education, and declared "Shinshinichinyo" which is the theory of mind-body oneness from Buddhism. This study used the magazine, Shintaiiku, was published from 1932 to 1944 by Mihashi's physical education laboratory established in 1930. The results of the analysis are summarized as follows. It was expression of the mind through the body that Mihashi considered one of the most important idea in his Shinshinichinyo. However he found that there was a limit to his Shinshinichinyo expressing mind, and also explained that human can not accomplish an expression of high quality through the body. How did he solve such problems? First, he suggested the following the two concepts about human body to solve the limit to his Shinshinichinyo expressing mind: One of the two concepts was expression of the mind, and the other was expression of the life. Second, he contrived the new intervention of idea that separating mind and body. By way of conclusion, it seems appropriate to remark that, although his original idea of mind-body oneness, Shinshinichinyo expressing mind, gave a logical foundation of suicide attacks, his intervention of idea that separating mind and body was not compatible with suicide attacks.
