ABSTRACT This paper examines Nishida’s later work on the historical world and religious transformation in an effort to clarify his political writings during the Pacific War. It sheds new light on the debate over the interpretation of Nishida’s wartime actions through reflection on a brief interaction Nishida had with the student Kiyoshi Kato during World War II. Shinran’s influence on Nishida will also be analyzed to reveal that the moral and religious insufficiency of the practitioner is a key aspect of his view of religious consciousness. Considering Nishida’s view of religious transformation together with his political writings and his interaction with Kato will lead to a deeper understanding of his view of history.

摘要 本文考察了西田后来关于历史世界和宗教变革的工作，以澄清他在太平洋战争期间的政治著作。它通过反思西田在二战期间与学生加藤清的简短互动，揭示了对西田战时行动解释的争论。还将分析真然对西田的影响，以揭示修行者的道德和宗教上的不足是他的宗教意识观的一个关键方面。考虑到西田的宗教转型观、他的政治著作以及他与加藤的互动，将导致对其历史观的更深入理解。
