How did OHNISHI Hajime receive Kant\u27s philosophy?

Early in the Meiji era, Japan emphasized "practical science". As a result, utilitarianism and positivism were regarded as a highly timely and the thinkers of The Meiji 6 Society (Meirokusha) taught them eagerly. They made an effort to allow the Japanese to these academic positions. However, come to the middle of the Meiji era, students started to learn German philosophy and its idealistic and spiritual way of thinking in the University of Tokyo. These new thoughts gradually prevailed among Japanese thinkers. OHNISHI Hajime (1864-1900) is a representative thinker of modern Japanese influenced by German philosophy. He developed his original ethical thought, which taught that the purpose of ethics was to find moral ideals for human beings. As is well known, OHNISHI is considered to be "Japanese Kant". This is because OHNISHI declared criticism as his fundamental thought. I report the impacts OHNISHI received from Kant, especially Kant\u27s moral philosophy.中谷伸生教授古稀記念
