(Japanese, 日本語) 36th IARF Congress 2023, Day 2: Japanese-Korean Reconciliation by Prof. Terasawa
International Association for Religious Freedom, Kunihiko Terasawa, PhD
このテキストは機械翻訳されました。仏教とキリスト教の宗教間・超国家的対話を通じた韓国と日本との和解東アジアで独裁国家、北朝鮮、中国、ロシアに囲まれ、現在、韓国と日本は自由と民主主義を共有しています。しかし、近代以降の韓日関係は困難を極めてきました。1910年から1945年まで、日本は韓国を併合しました。その期間中、日本は近代化を推進するために行ったと主張しているが、言語、宗教、文化の観点から韓国人を同化する政策を採用しました。私は日本と韓国の対立の原因を調査し、癒しと和解の方法を見つけ出すことができることを願っています。これが仏教とキリスト教の宗教間対話と超国家的連帯、そして若い世代を通じて可能になると見ています。日本は6世紀頃に韓国を通じて中国から仏教と儒教を学びました。奈良時代の仏教と徳川時代の儒教を通じて両国間で顕著なコミュニケーションがあった。これらの現代的な対立は、1868年の明治維新時に日本の近代国家の設立の圧力の下で始まりました。これは、アヘン戦争と呼ばれる戦争後の中国の敗北に続くヨーロッパの植民地主義の侵略に対抗するためのものでした。日本は国家神道と天皇イデオロギーを通じて新しい国家主義政策を採用しました。このプロセスを加速するため、明治政府は公立学校教育を通じて国家神道を課す代わりに、全国的に仏教を迫害して神仏習合を終わらせました。これにより、仏教、儒教、そして後にキリスト教の間での日本と韓国の間の霊的超国家的連帯が中断されました。私は日本の国家神道の朝鮮併合に対するイデオロギー的正当化と、日本と韓国の仏教徒とキリスト教徒が日本の超国家主義とその朝鮮への導入に抵抗した方法を調査します。実際には失敗しましたが、この失敗の理由も探求します。これらは韓国と日本の和解努力と東アジアの未来の平和のビジョンに重要な歴史的教訓を提供します。
