Description

The objective of this paper is to elucidate Katsumi Takizawa’s view of healing and the human by referring to his last manuscript, which was published after his death under the title Medical treatment and Religion in the Modern Times. The attempt here is part of our project to analyze the basic traits borne by the modern view of healing and the human. <br> Takizawa suffered from serious eye-disease in the late period of his life, but miraculously recovered from it through ‘jôrei no waza’ practiced by a member of Seimeikyô (one of the new rising religions in Japan). He wrote and left this manuscript, trying to understand how he was healed. <br> We will concentrate on two topics which he discussed, and consider their meaning in Takizawa’s perspective ‘pure theo-anthropology.’ The topics are ‘reishu taijû’ (the correspondence between the spirit and the body, the former preceding and leading the latter), and ‘jôrei no waza’ (the work of purifying mental or physical disharmony by spiritual power). ‘Reishu taijû’ has a direct relationship to the structure of human beings, and ‘jôrei no waza’ is connected with the view of healing and the criticism of modern medical treatment which depends upon medicines. Continuing to investigate these two issues, we will surely find ourselves situated on the frontier, where we can inquire about the ground of being and the source of life.
