520 $a Defining this dynamic cycle as the dialectics of tama, the dissertation concludes that new values can be identified and pursued in confronting the chthonic, the most ultimate of which consists in the existential reality of death.
520 $a This dissertation attempts to elucidate Japanese religious experience by way of a new interpretation of the oldest extant text of Japanese myth, the Kojiki. Informed by phenomenological hermeneutics, this interpretation shows that the concept of tama lies at the core of Japanese religious experience. Tama is often compared to spirit and soul in Western philosophy and religion, and especially to the German concept of Geist. Tama develops in ways that do not presuppose a dichotomy between the ideational and the sensible, precisely the dichotomy informing Western theism and the Platonic tradition of metaphysics. This dissertation argues that the Western concept of God, far from exhausting all possible relations between the human and the divine, is less than satisfactory for analyzing Japanese religious experience. The thesis proceeds by way of examining the Japanese notion of tama as an inquiry into the origin of values wholly unaffected by the Middle Eastern concept of a moral God.
520 $a Part I examines the history of Kojiki interpretation. Chapters 1 and 2 focus on the works of Motoori Norinaga and Hirata Atsutane as the pioneer attempts of shedding light on the notion of tama in the Kojiki. Analyzing the subsequent history as the hermeneutical process of mythologizing to demythologizing, Chapter 3 emphasizes the necessity of remythologizing Japanese myth from the perspective of phenomenological hermeneutics.
520 $a Part II explores how the symbol of tama is manifest in the concrete discourse of the Kojiki. This interpretation is conducted by way of what Paul Ricouer identifies as the three basic manifestations of the origin and the end of evil: defilement, sin, and guilt. Contrary to Ricoeur's theory propounding "the final victory of order over chaos" as central to the development of the mythical consciousness, Japanese myth emphasizes the recurring cycle of chaos and order, in which chaos is never annulled but encompassed in an absolutely necessary process for the reinvigoration of being.
