Introduction1 Hans Martin Krämer, Jenny Oesterle, Ulrike Vordermark 1. Seeing there are no signs nor fruit of religion but in man only, there is no cause to doubt but that the seed of religion is also only in man; and consisteth in some peculiar quality, or at least in some eminent degree thereof, not to be found in other living creatures.2 When Thomas Hobbes thus began his chapter “On Religion” in his seminal 1651 Le- viathan, he made use of the word “religion” in an abstract way that would have been impossible a century earlier. At roughly the same time, “religion,” which as a Latin or vernacular European word had been almost entirely synonymous with “Christianity,” was also for the first time applied to non-European phenomena described by European missionaries.3 To be sure, the conceptual shifts “religion” underwent at the very begin- The contributions to this volume are revised and extended versions of papers first given at the workshop “La- beling Self and Other in Historical Contacts Between Religious Groups” held in Bochum on January 8th and 9th, 200. The workshop was organized as part of the activities of the research consortium “Dynamics in the History of Religions Between Asia and Europe” based at Ruhr University Bochum and many of the insights and ideas reproduced in this volume and especially in the introduction stem from discussions held within the consortium since 2008. The editors express their gratitude to the consortium for the support received for the workshop and this volume. 2 T. Hobbes, Leviathan, First Part, Chapter XII. For an overview of early uses see J.Z. Smith, Religion, Religions, Religious, in: M.C. Taylor (ed.), Critical Terms for Religious Studies, Chicago 998, pp. 269–84, here: p. 270. Comparativ | Zeitschrift für Globalgeschichte und vergleichende Gesellschaftsforschung 20 (2010) Heft 4, S. 7–17. 8 | Hans Martin Krämer, Jenny Oesterle, Ulrike Vordermark ning of the modern period were not simply the outcome of encounters with new (non- European) forms of religiosity. They were also the result of intra-religious, even polemi- cal, differentiations within Christianity following the Reformation. From sociology, we know that “the more differentiated a group is, the easier it is for the group to appropriate foreigners and the foreign,” but that this greater flexibility is paid for by “increasing in- ternal otherness” (Binnenfremdheit).4 Considering that the religious concept of Western provenance is closely tied to the history of Christianity, one must ask whether the experi- ence and assimilation of “internal otherness” in the shaping of the late-Enlightenment concept of religion at the same time enabled the overcoming of religious alterity vis-à-vis groups coming from outside. This is suggested by the fact that the Western Christian term “religion” was transferred onto Islam and Judaism (and later other religions as well). The classification of Judaism and Islam as “religions” happens only in conjunction with an “internal otherness” resulting from the religious schism of the Reformation.5 While one thus might assume that intra-religious internal differentiations – such as are also the case in Islam between Shia and Sunna – are central to the development of religious concepts, this assumption is complicated by considering cases from East Asia. There, a situation of religious plurality without differentiation – at least if we understand this term to have its prototype in a religious schism such as that of the European Reforma- tion – dominated in premodern times. In China, three major traditions (Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism), which self-consciously defined themselves as distinct but dis- played little tendency to engage in competition against each other, by and large coexisted peacefully,6 while in Japan combinatory practices of Buddhism and Shintō proliferated. Religious alterity was certainly easily overcome in East Asia, but it might have been less due to the degree of internal differentiation than to a long-established practice of assimi- lation that was applied

  • Yoshihisa Yamamoto* Scholasticism in Early Modern Japan
    SCHOLASTICISM IN EARLY MODERN JAPAN Yoshihisa Yamamoto* Scholasticism in Early Modern Japan Abstract: In this article, the infl uence of Western scholasticism to Japan in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries is portrayed in detail. The overview of the Japanese Christian literature is provided in the fi rst half of the article. The introduction of Christianity and scholasticism generated much tension between Western thought and traditional Japanese thought such as Buddhism, Shintoism and Confucianism. The structure of the dialogue between Western Christian culture and Japanese culture is analyzed in the latter half of the article by comparing the thought of Alessandro Valignano and Fabian Fukansai. The meeting of two cultures during the Christian Century in Japan gave rise to serious philosophical and theological problems which persist even until today. Keywords: Japanese Scholasticism, Christian Century in Japan, Jesuit Mission Press, Dialogue of Cultures, Alessandro Valignano, Francisco Xavier, Luis de Granada, Pedro Gómez, Fabian Fukansai. Resumo: Neste artigo, oferece-se um quadro detalhado da infl uência da escolástica ocidental no Japão, nos séculos 16 e 17. A visão perspectiva da literatura cristã japonesa é trazida na primeira metade do artigo. A introdução do cristianismo e da escolástica geraram grande tensão entre o pensamento ocidental e o pensamento japonês tradicional, representado por correntes como o budismo, o xintoísmo e o confucionismo. A estrutura dos diálogos entre a cultura cristã ocidental e a cultura japonesa é analisada na segunda parte do artigo, comparando-se o pensamento de Alessandro Valignano e * Associate Professor, Department of Advanced Social and International Studies, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of the University of Tokyo; 3-8-1 Komaba, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 153-8902 Japan.

Over 350 years of the Pragmatics established as a linguistic domain, one of the first Japanese dictionaries (1603–1604) introduced the designation of honorific particles and honored verbs.

Founded in 1540,1 the Society of Jesus, or the Jesuits, rivaled, even eclipsed, all of the more established religious orders in global missionary work: mainly the Order of St. Dominic, or the Dominicans; the Order of St. Francis, or the Franciscans; and the Order of St. Augustine, or the Augustinians. By the late sixteenth century, the Society already had mission stations in the Americas and India, and already had a presence in Japan and China.

I owe thanks to the University of Texas at Austin for the financial wherewithal to support myself while finishing the project.

Without the academic community of professors and fellow students at Texas, this project would never have taken the form it did.

    “This Deus is a Fool’s Cap Buddha”: ‘The Christian Sect’ as Seen by Early Modern Japanese Buddhists1 Hans Martin Krämer RESÜMEE Keine hundert Jahre lang durften christliche Missionare im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert sich in Japan aufhalten, ehe sie des Landes verwiesen wurden und das Christentum für über zweihundert Jahre verboten wurde. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht, wie das Christentum in Japan insbe- sondere von Buddhisten, den wichtigsten Dialogpartnern bzw. Konkurrenten, wahrgenommen wurde und welchen sprachlichen Niederschlag der Kontakt zwischen den beiden Religionsge- meinschaften im Japanischen fand. Während für viele christliche Termini bald Übersetzungs- begriffe geprägt wurden, wurde das Christentum insgesamt im Rahmen der bestehenden Terminologie gefasst: Noch die stärkste Ablehnung des Christentums erkannte implizit dessen kategoriale Kommensurabilität an, indem es als (wenn auch häretische) Sekte mit demselben Klassenbegriff belegt wurde wie die einheimischen Religionen auch. Die Religionspolitik des 7. Jahrhunderts trug dazu bei, dass dieser Sprachgebrauch – durch eine Erweiterung des ex- tensionalen Sinns – wiederum Veränderungen in der bestehenden Terminologie hervorrief, die auch nach dem Verbot des Christentums nachwirkten. Der vorliegende Beitrag argumentiert, dass die Bildung des heute in Ostasien verbreiteten Begriffs für „Religion”, die erst in der zweiten Hälfte des 9. Jahrhunderts erfolgte, maßgeblich durch diese Vorgeschichte geprägt ist. In 1560, eleven years after first setting foot on Kyūshū, Japan’s southwestern main is- land, Christian missionaries received permission to proselytize in Kyōto. While the mis- sionaries had already had various encounters with indigenous religious groups, it was The author wishes to thank Kiri Paramore, Lucia Dolce, Anja Batram, Ulrike Vordermark, Jenny Oesterle, and Klaus Antoni, who have all given precious advice on various aspects covered by this essay.
