Philosopher. Born in Tokyo. Graduated from Kyoto Imperial University's Department of Philosophy (special course). Known from an early stage as a unique thinker of Western learning, with his vast knowledge of Western antiquity to modern times and his brilliant writing style, he edited Shiso from 1929 (Showa 4) until Japan's defeat in the war, creating a unique ideological magazine with a broad perspective. In the early 1930s, he briefly leaned left, but after 1935 he maintained a staunchly liberal stance, and continued to harshly criticize the times in essays such as "The Twilight of History" until 1941. After 1941, he remained completely silent until Japan's defeat in the war, but made a comeback in 1946 (Showa 21) with "The Ironic Spirit." After the war, he worked as a journalist, discovering many new talent, and joined Heibonsha Co., Ltd., where he completed the World Encyclopedia (1954-1958) as editor-in-chief. On the other hand, as early as 1951 he published "Communist Man," a criticism of Stalinism, whose pioneering insights made a huge impact on postwar intellectual history. In his later years he retreated into the academic world, but his 1969 essay "Spiritual History: An Introduction to a Method" was a pioneering work that marked the shift in the global intellectual paradigm of the 1970s. His books include Literary Renaissance (1935), The Twilight of History (1946), and Communist Man (1951).

思想家。東京に生まれる。京都帝国大学哲学科(選科)卒業。西洋古代から近代に至る該博な知識と絢爛(けんらん)たる文体によって、早くから洋学派の特異な思想家として知られ、1929年(昭和4)以後敗戦まで『思想』の編集にあたり、広い視野をもつ独自の思想雑誌をつくった。1930年代初め一時左傾したが、1935年以後あくまでも自由主義の立場を貫き、「歴史の暮方」などのエッセイで1941年まで時代に対する厳しい批判をやめなかった。1941年以後敗戦まで完全に沈黙を守り、1946年(昭和21)の「反語的精神」によって復活した。戦後はジャーナリストとして活躍し、多くの新人を発掘するとともに平凡社(株)に入社、編集長として『世界大百科事典』(1954~1958)を完成した。他方1951年には早くもスターリニズムを批判する「共産主義的人間」を発表し、その先駆的洞察によって戦後思想史に一石を投じた。晩年は学問の世界に閉じこもったが、1969年の「精神史――一つの方法序説」は、1970年代の世界的な知のパラダイムの変換に先鞭(せんべん)をつけた論文である。著書に『文芸復興』(1935)、『歴史の暮方』(1946)、『共産主義的人間』(1951)などがある。 [渡辺一民 2016年9月16日] 『『林達夫著作集』6巻・別巻1(1971~1972、1987・平凡社)』▽『『林達夫評論集』(岩波文庫)』 [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
