信仰と組織をめぐる矛盾と運動――戦後の封建遺制論と真宗大谷派の改革運動に注目して――

抄録

This paper examines the relationship between modernist criticisms of Jodo Shinshu and the Otani-ha reform movement. By examining their relationship, I argue that Otani-ha reformers responded to modernist criticisms, especially to Marxist ones. Marxists criticized Jodo Shinshu groups for their feudal systems, which unfairly exploited people, and demanded that Jodo Shinshu groups should modernize their institution. Otani-ha reformers, who were influenced by Western religious philosophy, responded to their criticisms and discussed the nature of their religious community in post-war Japanese society. Through their discussions and activities, they found it difficult to connect their religious community based on their theology with religious administrative systems.
