Sovereignty and Empire, Multilateral Research on the Historical Precondition of the Concept of Sovereignty and its Formation in Germany

本研究试图从历史上解释主权概念的起源和谱系，从19世纪初神圣罗马帝国的崩溃，到17世纪被认为结束了德国内战的威斯特伐利亚和约，再到14世纪由精神力量和世俗力量之间的冲突引起的金牛条约。田口雅明在帝国的政治进程中寻找多元化帝国宪法的中世纪起源，并提出了1356年的《金牛》作为其宪法基础。他指出了精神君主在这一过程中的主导作用，由此产生的教皇权力的优越性以及德意志与其他王国关系的重要性，并阐明了16世纪以来帝国政权中精神-世俗关系的重要性是忏悔反对派的先决条件。山本文彦在《威斯特伐利亚和约》的基础上，确认了1648年后德意志主权在帝国和领土国家之间划分的局面的延续，并阐明了帝国和领土国家（特别是北德意志诸侯）在“邮权”这一未规定问题上的竞争关系，即即将成为现代国家不可或缺的基础设施的通信手段的能力。Takeshi GONZA在帝国崩溃和1806年后莱茵外滩改革的当代经验背景下考察了德国人对黑格尔主权概念的接受和形成，并证明了在1806年协议中首次被承认的主权概念具有在帝国中没有的促进现代化的作用。首先是在莱茵bund- publicists和黑格尔主权理论（1817-1820）的争论的基础上

This research attempted to explicate the origin and genealogy of the concept of sovereignty historically by tracing out it from the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire in the early 19^<th> century, through the Peace of Westphalia which is supposed to have concluded the German civil war in the 17^<th> century, to the Golden Bull in the 14^<th> century which was caused by the conflict between spiritual and secular power.1.Masaki TAGUCHI searched for the medieval origin of the pluralistic imperial constitution in the political process of the Empire which brought out the Golden Bull of 1356 as its constitutional basis. He pointed out the leading role of spiritual princes in this process, the superiority of papal power resulting from it and the significance of the German relation with other realms, and elucidated the weight of spiritual-secular relation in the imperial regime as precondition of the confessional opposition since the 16^<th> century.2.Fumihiko YAMAMOTO confirmed the continuance of that German situation after 1648 where the sovereignty was divided between Empire and territorial states, on the basis of the Peace of Westphalia, and explicated the competing relation of Empire and territorial states (especially North German princes) about the unprescribed problem of ‘postal right', i.e.the competence of communicating means which was about to be established as the indispensable infrastructure of the modern state3.Takeshi GONZA investigated the German reception and formulation of the sovereignty-concept by Hegel in the context of contemporary experiences of the collapse of the Empire and the following reforms of Rheinbund after 1806, and proved that the sovereignty-concept which was recognized first in the agreement of 1806 had the operation of promoting modernization which wasn't seen in the Empire, above all on the basis of the controversy by Rheinbund-publicitsts and Hegel's sovereignty-theory 1817-1820
