1908‐42 Dutch researcher of Indonesian social history. Born in Utrecht, he studied Indian studies at Leiden University and received his doctorate in law in 1934 with his dissertation "Some Observations on Old Asian Trade." He then went to Indonesia, where he published many papers while working in the colonial government's Home Affairs and General Affairs Bureaus. When World War II broke out, he volunteered to join the Marines, and died at the age of 34 when his ship was sunk in a naval battle prior to the Japanese landing on Java. He rejected the Eurocentric view of history that had been dominant in Dutch academia, and demonstrated through thorough research that trade in the seas of Asia and Africa had already made remarkable progress before the advance of European powers.

1908‐42 オランダのインドネシア社会史研究者。ユトレヒトに生まれ,ライデン大学でインド学を修め,1934年に学位論文〈昔のアジア貿易に関する二,三の考察〉により法学博士号を得た。続いてインドネシアに行き,植民地政庁の内務局,総務局などに勤務しながら多くの論文を発表した。第2次大戦が勃発すると志願して海兵隊に入り,日本軍のジャワ上陸に先立つ海戦において,乗艦とともに撃沈されて34歳の生涯を終えた。彼は従来のオランダ学界に支配的であったヨーロッパ中心の歴史観を排し,アジア,アフリカ海域の貿易はすでにヨーロッパ諸勢力の進出以前からめざましい発達を遂げていたことを,綿密な研究によって実証した。 出典 株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について 情報 |
