3: Thoughts on the future of Japan's quasi-civilization
Spengler's concept of the life and destiny of a nation more familiar than Western history , I have tried to explain it using the Japanese mentality of the Edo period as an example . From now on, I would like to consider the future of Japan based on the civilization theory and value theory that I have been considering so far . We will look at Japan's quasi-civilization, external value theory, and introverted value theory, and through this we will think about the theme of ``civilization and values.''
My impression from the civilization theory is that the problem of civilization is ultimately a matter of the "arrangement" of various civilizations , and when it comes to the country of Japan , it can be explained using the five forces that I proposed. This can be said to be a problem of "external forces . " This is tied to the question which combine to minimize external pressure and bounce back .
Also, in terms of changes in the mentality of the social order considered in the theory of value , where is the mentality of the Japanese people today ? Also, what are the historical challenges facing Japan today ? What are the values that we Japanese people are trying to cultivate in the face of historical challenges , and how are we trying to respond to them ?
Value has been considered to be something that arises from external challenges and responses, or from internal life phenomena . For this reason, I would like to begin by enumerating many of the challenges (both external and internal) that Japan is currently facing .
Next, I will consider where the internal life phenomena of the Japanese people are now . However, since the psyche of modern Japanese people is influenced by various external forces, it may be difficult to explain it as clearly as it was during the Edo period. However, the mentality of Japan's current social order may correspond to the pattern of the fourth period (the mentality of the old ruling order is in old age, the mentality of the new ruling order is in youth) .
In my research on psyche in the Edo period, I briefly mentioned that the new ruling order originally had`` politicized ' ' cultural ideas and emerged with `` new era scholarship '' as its backbone .
