Lecture School - Kozaha

Japanese: 講座派 - こうざは

Around 1925-35, the "Japanese Capitalism Debate" divided the Japanese Marxist economics community in two over the definition of the nature of Japanese capitalism, and these people argued that the essence of Japanese capitalism was military and semi-feudal in nature. The name "Lecture School" originated from the fact that this school advocated their own theory mainly in the "Japanese Capitalism Development History Lectures" (1932-33), published by Iwanami Shoten. The leading debaters were Yamada Moritaro and Hirano Yoshitaro, and their major works were later published as "An Analysis of Japanese Capitalism" (34) and "The Mechanism of Japanese Capitalist Society" (34). Other major debaters were Hani Goro, Hattori Yukimasa, Yamada Katsujiro, and Otsuka Kinnosuke. Opposing this was a group of scholars and critics (the so-called labor-farmer faction) including Mukaizaka Itsuro, Ito Yoshimichi, Tsuchiya Takao, and Ouchi Hyoe, but the debate was carried over unresolved until after World War II, and it became one of the points that distinguished the Japanese Communist Party from the Japan Socialist Party.

1925～35年頃，日本資本主義の性格規定をめぐって日本のマルクス経済学界を2分した「日本資本主義論争」において，日本資本主義の本質は軍事的半封建的性格にあると主張した人々。講座派の名称は当初この派の人々がおもに岩波書店刊行の『日本資本主義発達史講座』 (1932～33) に自己の学説を唱えたことから発した。その代表的論客は山田盛太郎，平野義太郎であり，それぞれの主著はのちに『日本資本主義分析』 (34) ，『日本資本主義社会の機構』 (34) として刊行された。おもな論客はほかに羽仁五郎，服部之総，山田勝次郎，大塚金之助らがいる。これに対抗したのは，向坂逸郎，伊藤好道，土屋喬雄，大内兵衛らの学者，評論家のグループ (いわゆる労農派 ) であったが，その論争は決着をみないまま第2次世界大戦後に持越され，日本共産党と日本社会党との一線を画す論点の一つとなった。
