Kiichiro Souda - Kiichiro Souda

Japanese: 左右田喜一郎 - そうだきいちろう
Kiichiro Souda - Kiichiro Souda

Economic philosopher. Born in Yokohama. Studied under Tokuzo Fukuda at Tokyo Higher Commercial School (the precursor to Hitotsubashi University) and immediately after graduating in 1904 (Meiji 37), he went to Germany to study, where he became deeply interested in the philosophical foundations of economics under the strong influence of the Neo-Kantians led by H. Rickert. After returning to Japan in 1913 (Taisho 2), he lectured on his own unique economic philosophy at his alma mater and at the Faculty of Letters of Kyoto Imperial University, publishing many works on the subject. In parallel with his research and teaching activities, he became president of his family business, the Souda Bank, but the bank was forced into bankruptcy during the economic depression at the beginning of the Showa era.

Souda's economic philosophy is centered around the concept of economic cultural value as the meaning of economic phenomena, and he gave economic phenomena a unity different from other social phenomena, and developed his own theory of money, believing that it is money that makes economics economics. His major works include "Money and Value" (German, 1909), "Problems of Economic Philosophy" (1917), and "Cultural Value and Limit Concepts" (1922).

Japanese:

経済哲学者。横浜に生まれる。東京高等商業学校(一橋(ひとつばし)大学の前身)で福田徳三に学び、1904年(明治37)卒業後、ただちにドイツに留学し、H・リッケルトを中心とする新カント派の強い影響下に経済学の哲学的基礎に深い関心を寄せた。1913年(大正2)帰国後、母校や京都帝国大学文学部で独自の経済哲学を講じ、その面で多くの著作を公刊した。研究・教職活動と並行して家業の左右田銀行頭取に就任したが、同銀行は昭和初頭の経済恐慌で破産を余儀なくされた。

 左右田の経済哲学は、経済現象の意味としての経済的文化価値の概念を中心に構成されており、彼は経済現象に他の社会現象とは異なった統一性を与え、経済学をして経済学たらしめているものは貨幣だとして、独自の貨幣論を展開した。主著には『貨幣と価値』(独文、1909)、『経済哲学の諸問題』(1917)、『文化価値と極限概念』(1922)などがある。
