사상으로서의 일본 헌법 ― 아즈마 히로키의 <일본 2.0>을 중심으로 ―

초록

The purpose of this paper is to examine the discussion on constitutional amendment in Heisei Japan. Existing studies mainly deal with the possibility of constitutional amendment in Japan, this paper examines the political unconsciousness or desire in narratives and stories related to the constitution during the Heisei period . Among them, the person I want to deal with in this paper is Hiroki Azuma(東浩紀) who is Japanese cultural critic, novelist, and philosopher. Azuma, who represents the scene of criticism in Heisei Japan, presents a new way of thinking about the constitution beyond the simple dichotomy between pros and cons of constitutional amendment. By reviewing his “Constitution 2.0”, this paper examines the politital thought during the Heisei period. This is not just limited to Azuma's discussion, but also shared by critics and thinkers during the Heisei period. They deviate from the structure of conservatism and innovation in the Showa Japan. In other words, they look at the world in a way that is nerither optimistic liberalism nor bloody realism. This was a search for possibilities of double-layer structure that combines globalism and nationalism, direct democracy and deliberative democracy, and conservatism and liberalism.
