Barker, Ernest

Japanese: バーカー（英語表記）Barker， Ernest

Born: September 23, 1874, Cheshire
[Died] February 17, 1960. British political philosopher from Cambridge. Originally an expert on ancient Greek political thought. In his later years, he became interested in modern political theory, and concluded that the essence of democracy is "government by debate" in opposition to fascism and Nazism. His political theory is called political pluralism (→ pluralistic state theory) along with H. Laski and R. McKeever, but it can be said that he rather advocated the limitation of national sovereignty. Compared to the other two, his theory has a moral and philosophical character. His main works are The Political Thought of Plato and Aristotle (1906), Greek Political Theory: Plato and His Predecessors (18), Reflections on Government (42), and Principles of Social and Political Theory (51).

Born: April 21, 1869, Southport, Liverpool
[Died] July 31, 1950, Douglas, Isle of Man. British manual therapist. He made a great contribution to the treatment of wounded in World War I by correcting knee and shoulder injuries, tennis elbow, etc., using only his hands, without the use of surgery or orthopedic procedures. Although the British Medical Association opposed his request because he was not a medical doctor, he was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun in 1922. In World War II, he was again called upon to treat war wounded, and in 1941 he joined the medical staff at Noble Hospital in Douglas, Isle of Man.

イギリスの政治哲学者。本来は古代ギリシア政治思想の専門家。晩年，現代の政治理論に関心をもち，ファシズム，ナチズムに対抗して，民主主義の本質を「討論による政治」であると結論づけた。彼の政治理論の立場は，H.ラスキや R.マッキーバーと並んで政治的多元主義 (→多元的国家論 ) と呼ばれているが，むしろ国家主権の限定を主張したといえる。また2人と比較して，道徳的，哲学的な性格を有している。主著『プラトン，アリストテレスの政治思想』 The Political Thought of Plato and Aristotle (1906) ，『ギリシアの政治理論－プラトンと先輩たち』 Greek Political Theory: Plato and His Predecessors (18) ，『現代政治の考察』 Reflections on Government (42) ，『政治学原理』 Principles of Social and Political Theory (51) 。
