摘要
The purpose of this paper is to examine Takada Shinji's (1893-1975) view of the 'Mandate of Heaven ((sic) tenmei)'. Takada understood the 'Imperial Way ((sic) kodo)' as one of two axes, the 'Mandate of Heaven' and the 'Rectification of Names ((sic) seimei)', together they made possible a theoretical systematization of the 'Imperial Way' discourse as well as its concrete political embodiment. It is undeniable that the ideas of the 'Imperial Way' received heavy criticism after WWII. Because it was used as a problematic ideology in Imperial Japan. Nonetheless, it is necessary to grasp its original meaning as understood by its theoretical founder and innovators. This paper thus turns to examine Takada's unique understanding of the 'Mandate of Heaven' from the belief that such an examination should precede before starting a more systematic and comprehensive discussion of the 'Imperial Way' discourse.
