Rethinking Secularism (Laicite) : Comparative Studies of France,Quebec and Japan

本研究批判性地回顾了法国政教分离（世俗主义）的历史，并推进了对魁北克跨文化政教分离的分析。因此，它揭示了理解在不同社会中政教分离的要素是如何构成的重要性。这样做是为了重新安排相对于世俗的概念，作为比较世界上国家-宗教政权的工具，并作为共存的原则。此外，通过本研究获得的新视野，在一定程度上使我们能够从世俗的角度重新解读日本的国教结构及其历史

This research reviewed critically the history of laicite (secularism) in France, andadvanced the analysis of Quebec’s intercultural laicite. As a result, it revealed theimportance of understanding how the elements of the laicite are composed in varioussocieties.

Inaddition, a new vision acquired through this study in part enabled us to reread theJapanese state-religion structure and its history from the viewpoint of the laicite
