文学部創設百周年記念論文集ITreatiseI have tried in this paper to trace how Fukuzawa Yukichi developed his theory of learning by referring to his writings in a chronological order. His theory of learning has three aspects which show inconsistent differences one another. In the first place, by learning he means the pragmatic knowledges as far as they promote the cultivation of the spirit of self-independence which leads to the independence of Japan ("Commending Learning" and "An Introduction of Civilization"). In the second place, Fukuzawa provides physics for the foundation of all the learnings and imagines that we shall understand all things in the universe including emotion, will, and mental illness by the laws of perfect physics after ten million years. Fukuzawa calls these days "the Days of Incorporation of the Heaven and the Human Beings" ("An Introduction of Civilization" and "Fukuo's One Hundred Stories"). In the third Place, Fukuzawa regards all the learnings as a vain attempt which is like the workings of a maggot ("Fukuo's One Hundred Stories). This last notion shows the Buddhist influences upon Fukuzawa. We find that these three aspects inconsistently coexist in his writings without unifying them.
