Description

This article reviews the achievements of the followers of Nitobe and Uchimura, and analyzes the work of Tamon Maeda on his philosophy of democratic education. Maeda was a leading figure in establishing post-war education. He believed that the development of individuality and personality was urgently needed to protect Japanese society against the type of fascism during the war. He emphasized thta vertical relationships with God and horizontal relationships with others are both important for the establishment of the self. Neverthless, his belief lacked the dimension of the vertical relationship for he claimed the self can be intimately united with a High Being. In this regard, Maeda's thoughts and beliefs were contradictory in terms of the necessity of the self-establishment.
