| Abstract | This paper aims to clarify, through the reexamination of the views on modernization of Japan chiefly discussed in "Conference on modern Japan" (CMJ) in 1960's, that the conceptual framework for the ba...sis of "Multiple Modernities," the perception of history which has become the main stream in recent years in the field of the Japanese Studies, had been presented in CMJ. John W. Hall, the chairman of CMJ, proposed the conceptual framework, "Open approach" (an approach to presented a hypothesis without expecting conclusions beforehand) to modernization, in "the Hakone Conference", the preliminary round of CMJ held in the summer in 1960. At that time, this approach was perceived by the majority of historians in Japan as an ideology for the conceptual framework that opposed the Marxism view of history, and the meaning of his proposal was not correctly understood in Japanese academism. However, the detailed analysis in the present study of the characters of CMJ and the situation surrounding it revealed that "Open approach" originated by Hall was not merely an ideology but the conceptual framework that enables us to analyze the way to "Plural Modernization", and even further revision of that framework had been attempted by the time when CMJ was closed in 1968. The present work attempts to reevaluate the theoretical possibility of the modernization theory, which was called "Intellectual mushroom cloud" among young researchers, according to the recollection in 1978 by Marius B. Jansen, who was one of the member of CMJ.show more |
