摘要
《武士道》由新渡戶稻造所著，乃為對歐美、日本國內有極大影響之著作，目前關於《武士道》之研究甚多，然而對《武士道》作品本身之文學性研究或思想性研究卻極少，因此，本論文以探求《武士道》執筆之意義為最終目的，以著者新渡戶於執筆前之人生階段所經歷過之思想苦難為線索，分成上下二篇加以探討，本文為上篇。此上篇之目的在究明《武士道》執筆前之階段著者所遭遇之精神試煉以及其所產生之精神葛藤，首先，通觀新渡戶生涯之概略，以窺知札幌農學校教授時代對新渡戶而言乃為充滿前所未有之經驗與苦難之時期，再者考察〈教育勳語〉頒布以來之思想論戰，得知在基督教之教義不適於國家教育政策之批判中，新渡戶身為基督教信者之教員所被迫面臨的問題，即基督教教義或精神與日本古來所謂東洋儒教間之緊張對立，而此即為《武士道》著者於執筆之初其精神背景以及問題意識。
並列摘要
”Bushido: The Soul of Japan” composed by Nitobe Inazô has crucial influence to Europe, America and Japan. By now there are many researches on ”Bushido,” however; there is very tiny literary research or ideological research into the article itself. The ultimate and core purpose of this thesis, therefore, is to explore to the significance of the creation of ”Bushido: The Soul of Japan,” which is divided into two parts tracing the ideological ordeals that the author Nitobe had experienced before he wrote this book. The focus of Part I tries to depict and clarify the spiritual ordeals and the derived spiritual dilemma the author of ”Bushido” encountered, in which firstly we may realize that, generally through the whole life of Nitobe, his professor time at Sapporo Agricultural College was full of fresh experience and distress. Secondly, further observation is at the consecutive ideological controversy after the promulgation of ”Kyôikutyokugo” to know his miserable plight as a Christian under the criticism that the doctrine of Christianity was not suitable to national education policy. Hence, Nitobe, as a professor who had faith in Christianity, was forced to face a problem which was confrontation and tension between the doctrine or spirit of Christianity and what is for a long time in Japan called as the East Confucianism, which thus appears the initial spiritual background and critical mind of the author.
