근대초극론, 아직 끝나지 않은 공영권총력전

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In relation with the theory of overcoming modern, we should notice that the overcoming-theorists of modern stipulate the Greater East Asia War as the Common Sphere's All-out War beyond totalized war. This notion generates an unusual imperialism. In discussing the specific relationship between Japan and China which is represented as Manchuria, they emphasize that the relationship is different from the imperialistic relationship based on the existing nationalism. The relationship of Japan and China is very special one through the intermediation of a sphere of life, they say, which is different from the past imperialistic relationship based on the constant of the resources and market. Also, the overcoming-theorists extend the space notion into the field of life, relating internally the space notion at the end of Japanese ruling with historical value beyond the just geographical relation. And thus, in comparison with the fact that the expansion history of European imperialism is a specific world history heightgning the dependency on the outer region of Europe, they set up the relation of Japan and China not as a subjunctive one but as an equal one, describing their relationship as that of sphere of life. This setting is a kind of mythomania for joining the East Asia's nations into the Greater East Asia War.
Goyama Iwao said that, from the view of world history, Japan's position on China is not imperialistic. This thinking is common thinking of Japanese at that time. The advance of Japan into the East Asia is a mission in the history of world, that is, Japan's stopping from China's split, and also, the only means that Asia can go beyond the restriction of position in the history of world. These thinkings are an universal level of recognition of Japanese at that time.
Because such universal thinking is in the deep heart of Japanese, 'Ideal of the Greater East Asia War', Japanese believes, justifies the past relationship of Japan and China. If we can call the power which can make Japanese have such thinking 'morallish-energie', a moral principle of the overcoming-theorists of modern is a very specific philosophical logic. They insist that the Japan's measures on China are different from those of the western imperialism because they overcome imperialism ideally just in the case of Construction of the Greater East Asia, though the measures have a leg 'to be misunderstood as an imperialistic ones'. In the inner heart of their persistence, firm and sometimes gruesome self-confidence or belief reside. That's just the moral power, and the mind of Tenno. Therefore, 'morallish-energie' which the overcoming-theorists of modern assert is a mere philosophical slogan to rationalize the Greater East Asia War.
