A Sociological Study of the Makeup of Modern Self in Japanese by Analyzing Historical Change of Ideas of Ikigai

本项目在第一年实施了（1）收集江户时代中后期文学作品中的生活意义词用法实例的调查;（2）试图构建一个理论框架，以解释生活意义的历史变化所表明的日本人伦理意识的历史变化，该框架适用于日本文化的历史解释。第二年，（1）将明治初期的生活习惯扩大到日本社会现代化的最早阶段，以了解日本现代化与生活习惯意义变化的关系;以及（2）它还试图重新构建已经形成的解释框架，以建立一种旨在从现代化的角度理解现代化历史进程的理论。身份的变化导致现代身份的形成。这一理论被称为“蒂加夫社会学”，因为它是围绕着ikigai这一概念构建的，ikigai这一概念是从二元论的角度引入该理论的。生活价值逻辑是一种联结价值范式和个体行为取向的组合逻辑。

This project executed, in the first year, (1) a survey of collecting usage examples of ikigai word in literary works published in mid and late Edo Eras; and (2) it tried to formulate a theoretical framework to explain historical change of Japanese people's ethical consciousness indicated in a historical change of meaning ofikigai, the framework which is applicable to the historical interpretation of Japanese culture. And in next year, (1) it expanded the collection of ikigai usage in early Meiji Era, to the earliest stage of modernization of Japanese society, for the purpose of understanding relation between Japanese modernization and change of ikigai meaning; and (2) it also tried to reformulate the explanatory framework already formed in order to establish a theory that aims to understand historical process of modernization from the perspective of identity change resulting in forming modern identity. The theory is to be called`Sociology of Thigaf as it is constructed around the concept of ikigai, the concept which is introduced into the theory from the perspective of dualism. Logic of ikigai (what makes life worth living) is pecognized here as a syntagmaticlogic connecting a value paradigm and individual action orientation.
