摘要

1899年新渡戶稻造《武士道》一書之問世，對歐美之理解認識日本，影響甚深；其書名雖極具濃厚東洋色彩，但其內容則為論述基督教《聖經》與武士道二者相通之關係。而如此之問題意識，並非始自新渡戶，乃於當時之另一位基督教思想家植村正久之著作中已早有提及。換言之，今日若吾人欲深究《武士道》一書之前置思想時，則植村所論及之基督教與武士道二者關係之著述，絕不容忽略。目前學界雖亦曾有論及新渡戶思想或植村思想等相關研究，然而獨不見《武士道》之前置思想與植村二者間問題之探討，誠可謂闕失。本論文乃以植村之1894年〈基督教と武士道〉與1898年〈基督教の武士道〉二文章為探討對象，重新展開論證分析；其結果獲知，前者乃意味武士道之新依附體應為基督教，而後者則指出《聖經新約•哥林多前書》的某一章節實即為基督教中之武士道。植村如此對基督教與日本武士道二者關係之具體指陳，不僅為日本基督教史上之前所未見，亦為新渡戶稻造《武士道》思維脈絡之繼承所在，而此一脈絡關係即為學界長期以來所忽略之重要事實。

The book ”Bushido: The Soul of Japan,” published by Nitobe Inazô in 1899, has been greatly influencing on the Western's understanding to Japan. In spite of the oriental title ”Bushido,” the book in fact elaborates the communication and interaction between Christianity-Bible and Bushido. Such critical thought, however, is not just derived from Nitobe but earlier sparked in pieces launched by an active Christianity thinker, Uemura Masahisa. In other words, nowadays if we intend to completely understand about the preliminary thought of Nitobe's ”Bushido: The Soul of Japan,” the relationship discussed by Uemura between Christianity and Bushido can never be neglected or excluded. So far there is plenty of respective research on thought of Nitobe or thought of Uemura in academic circles; nonetheless, there still exists a gap of an investigation on the connections between Nitobe's preliminary thought and Uemura. This thesis hence focuses on the basis of the ”Christianity and Bushido” in 1894 and the ”Bushido of Christianity” in 1898 announced by Uemura, to newly conduct analysis and corroboration. The finding thus demonstrates the following: the former piece implies that Christianity should be the new subject that Bushido depended on, while the later piece indicates that a chapter in ”The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians in the New Testamen” is Bushido in Christian way. Such sharp observation upon connections between Christianity and Bushido was not only unprecedented in the history of Japanese Christianity but also the very threads of thought that Nitobe Inazô's Bushido: The Soul of Japan” succeeded. This connection has been ignored for a long time.
