    This paper analizes the images of family by utilizing seven kinds of general magazines published in Meiji era as materials. From beginning of Meiji, we can find in the magazines that people criticize traditional family ethic and try to establish democratic and westernized one. And in the third decade of Meiji, the concept of domestic home becomes to flourish in the magazines. In the articles we can find people of Meiji have longed for industrialization and modernization after Western countries even if it should destroy traditional family ethics in Japan. In fact, they recognize traditional families are dysfunctional to modernization.
    After that, however, familial characteristics came to change gradually. The concept of domestic home have been united with norms of sexual devision of labour and now it is almost a new version of Confucianism. Women are expected to be good housewives and home has become the place of women and children. In other words, home seems to change into private and feminine one at this times.
    We are surprised to know people intensely consider family and home as basis of constructing “New Japan” in Meiji. People tend to extend familial intimate feeling to loyalty to the State. These two kinds of feelings become integrated to one. Through the magazines we can find the paradox that modern and westernized concept of “home” in early Meiji has changed and come to serve the absolutism and nationalism of Meiji goverment and the old ethics of Confucianism.

    In der bisherigen Forschung hat der Begriff des«Lebens»in der Theorie der modernen Kultur bei Georg Simmel als ein zentraler Begriff gegolten. Dagegen wird in diesem Aufsatz versucht, nicht das«Leben», sondern die «Arbeitsteilung»in seiner Theorie der modernen Kultur als einen wichtigen, zentralen Begriff zu betrachten. Der Begriff der«Arbeitsteilung»ist anders als der Begriff des«Lebens», der von der sozialen Formbestimmung vollkommen abstrahiert ist, ein soziologischer-d. h. mit den sozialen Beziehungen zusammenhängender-Begriff, und es scheint wichtig, die Bedeutung des Begriffs der Arbeitsteilung zu betonen, um Simmels Theorie der modernen Kultur von einem soziologischen Gesichtspunkt studieren zu kbnnen.
    Hier wird zuerst Simmels Zeitdiagnose des«diskrepanten Verhältnisses der objektiven und subjektiven Kultur»untersucht. Auf dieser Grundlage werden die verschiedenen Aspekte des grundlegenden Begriffs der Arbeitsteilung ausgefürt. Durch dieses Verfahren wird die obenerwähnte Behauptung untermauert.

  • a critic of Weber's comparative sociology

    “Confucianism and Puritanism” is one of the most important treatises of Max Weber's comparative sociology. But there are several serious mistakes in his understanding of Confucianism, especially in his “external” charactering of Confucianism. We show, from texts of Confucianism and treatises of Chinese history and Chinese thought, Confucianism is a “Gesinnungsethik”, and make it clear why Weber couldn't see Confucianism as a “Gesinnungsethik”. The Cause of his misunderstandings is his overlooking of the concept of mind of Confucianism, or of relativity of concepts (=“primary theory”) of mind. The ethics of Confucianism depends on its own concept of mind, and the ethics of Protestantism depends on another concept of mind, which is also of its own, not universal. On the assumption of its own concept of mind, Confucianism is a “Gesinnungsethik”.
    On this viewpoint of relativity of concepts of mind, through analysis of the concepts of mind of Confucianism and Protestantism, we reconstruct comparison-contrastation of these ethics, then rethink their influence on each society, Traditional China and Modern West-Europe.

  • an analysis of the opinion poll data

    The article attempts to investigate historical transformation in the Americans' evaluation of Japan and the Japanese over the past fifty years. As a result of the analysis of the empirical data derived from two opinion polls, the author has found that the level of evaluation has gradually risen over the past thirty years. Especially when one compares the ranking position of the Japanese in 1951 and 1984, the difference is striking. The US-Japan trade problem which has called public attention in the past two decades does not seem to bear significant negative influence upon the evaluation. Furthermore, it has been found that age, education, income, and occupation show significant correlation with the evaluation.
