| 講題／講師 | 【講 題】 “History as Apologetics: New Accounts of the Buddha Śākyamuni in Meiji Japan” 「護法論としての仏教史：明治時代における釈迦牟尼仏の語り直し」 【講 師】 Prof. Micah L. Auerback マイカ・アワーバック教授（ミシガン大学准教授／日本学術振興会研究員） |
| 梗概 | During the Meiji period (1868-1912), Japanese Buddhist clerics and academics took a new interest in the “historical” Buddha, Śākyamuni, who had previously figured in Japanese Buddhist history only in a relatively minor capacity. Stimulated by the intense interest in Śākyamuni among Western scholars of Buddhism, these Japanese intellectuals strove to offer their own new accounts of his life and teaching. In these accounts, they confronted new problems: the racial origins of the Buddha, the dates of his life and final nirvāṇa, and the transformation of a human teacher into a supramundane being. This talk will outline some answers to these problems proposed during the Meiji years by prominent intellectuals, including Inoue Tetsujirō, Murakami Senshō, Anesaki Masaharu, and Sakaino Kōyō. While these figures used modern historicist methods, they often showed an unwillingness to limit their interpretations to the spheres of the “rational” and “historical.” The talk will demonstrate how history thus served as a way to shore up the position of Śākyamuni within an integrated “Buddhism.” |
