Yoshida Ken'ichi's view on “the modern period” of Europe and Japan is unique compared with the common understanding of the term. By the term Yoshida refers to “the end of the 19th century” in Europe and “the early Showa period” in Japan. This article intends to examine Yoshida's concept of modernity and its position in the history of Europe and Japan. Yoshida insists that Europe attained civilization and found Europe itself in the 18th century, then lost the former and lost sight of the latter in the 19th century. Later, at the end of the 19th century, Europe regained the former and rediscovered the latter. This view seems to be suggestive for Japan and the world in the era of globalization. Yoshida also insists that pre-modern Japan paradoxically owned modern civilization, then lost it during Meiji and Taisho Japan, and then re-owned it in early Showa Japan. This view is interesting to the writer of this article who intends to re-evaluate “the party-cabinet period” of early Showa., text, application/pdf}, pages = {69--86}, title = {吉田健一におけるヨーロッパと日本の近代《国際社会と日本》}, volume = {164}, year = {2021}, yomi = {ツチカワ, ノブオ} }
