Droysen - Johann Gustav Droysen

Japanese: ドロイゼン - どろいぜん(英語表記)Johann Gustav Droysen
Droysen - Johann Gustav Droysen

German historian and politician. Born in Treptow, a small town in Pomerania. He was strongly influenced by the Enlightenment theology, the ideals of neo-humanism, and the Prussian Reformation. After entering the University of Berlin, he switched to classical philology and marked a new era in the study of Hellenism with his History of Alexander the Great (1833) and History of Hellenism (1836, 1843). After becoming a professor at the University of Kiel (1840), he shifted the focus of his research from ancient to modern times, while his interest in politics intensified. During the Revolution of 1848, he became a member of the Frankfurt National Assembly and represented the Little Germany faction, that is, the idea that Prussia should be the leader of German unification. His Political History of Prussia (1855-86) was the product of this political passion. After graduating from the University of Jena (1851), he moved to the University of Berlin, where he lectured on the Encyclopedia and Methodology of History. While Droysen's Hellenistic and Prussian histories have lost their luster today, his historical methodology continues to have a major influence to this day.

Japanese:

ドイツの歴史家、政治家。ポンメルン(ポメラニア)の小都市トレープトーに生まれる。啓蒙(けいもう)神学、新人文主義の教養理想およびプロイセン改革から強い精神的影響を受けた。ベルリン大学に入ってから古典文献学の研究に方向を転じ、『アレクサンドロス大王史』(1833)と『ヘレニズムの歴史』(1836、43)においてヘレニズムの研究に新紀元を画した。キール大学教授(1840)になってから研究の重点を古代から近代へ移す一方、政治的関心が強まり、「一八四八年の革命」の際フランクフルト国民議会の議員となり、小ドイツ派すなわちプロイセンをドイツ統一の指導者とする考えを代表した。『プロイセン政治史』(1855~86)はそうした政治的熱情の産物にほかならない。イエナ大学(1851)を経てベルリン大学に転じ、『歴史のエンチクロペディーと方法論』を講じた。ドロイゼンのヘレニズム史やプロイセン史は今日色あせたのに反して、歴史学方法論は現代にまで大きな影響力をもち続けている。
