第二次世界大战后，日本知识分子认为，世界历史正在无情地走向资产阶级民主，然后走向社会主义。但是，谁会成为日本革命的代理人——积极的“臣民”呢？这个主体性问题在当时引起了激烈的争论，影响了关于民族主义和社会变革的流行观念，至今仍影响着日本的政治文化。在这里，J. Victor Koschmann分析了关于主体性的争论。他追溯了来自不同学科和政治观点的知识分子的论点，并断言，尽管他们强调个人自治，但他们都从决定论的历史结构中定义了主体性，从而最终推迟了日本激进变革的可能性。
After World War II, Japanese intellectuals believed that world history was moving inexorably toward bourgeois democracy and then socialism. But who would be the agents - the active "subjects" - of that revolution in Japan? Intensely debated at the time, this question of active subjectivity influenced popular ideas about nationalism and social change that still affect Japanese political culture today. Here, J. Victor Koschmann analyzes the debate over subjectivity. He traces the arguments of intellectuals from various disciplines and political viewpoints, and asserts that despite their stress on individual autonomy, they all came to define subjectivity in terms of deterministic historical structures, thus ultimately deferring the possibility of radical change in Japan.
