木下尚江(1869-1937)は日本近代史における最も影響力がある反戦団体｢平民社｣の中心メンバーであるが､彼の日本近代反戦文学史における多大なる価値は未だ充分に明らかにされていない｡火の柱､良人の自白､霊か肉かをはじめとする木下尚江の小説では､｢恋愛｣と｢反戦｣が小説のプロットを進展させる二つの要素で､ロマンチックな｢恋愛｣物語とヒロイズム的な｢反戦｣闘士の物語が混じり合った二重構造を成り立たせている｡本稿はこの二重構造を突破口として､尚江の反戦文学ないし反戦思想の本質と特徴を分析した｡尚江文学における｢反戦｣はすべて作者自身の平民社時期の活動に基づいたもので､男主人公の政治理想における一番重要な内容として描写されている｡これは明治文学史ないし戦前の文学史にもごく珍しいことである｡尚江の思想では､｢恋愛｣は人道主義の類語で､彼の個人主義の立場と緊密な関係がある｡であるから､尚江の文学では｢恋愛｣の地位と重要性は次第に｢反戦｣を超え､テキストの中心的位置を占めるようになっている｡そして､｢反戦｣と｢恋愛｣の共通点と接点は｢神｣であるが､この接点は失敗していて､本質的な繋がりを成立させなかったのである｡木下尚江は日本近代反戦文学の本格的な出発点と言えるほどの存在で､彼の反戦文学に含まれる人道主義や､個人主義と政治理想の関係などの問題点は以後の反戦文学史や反戦思想史にも重要な課題となっている｡
Kinoshita Naoe is a core member of Heiminsha, which is the most influential anti-war group in modern Japanese history, but the value of his anti-war literature has not yet been fully recognized. In novels like Pillar of Fire, Confessions of a good man, and Soul or Body, Kinoshita Naoe employs a two-line structure that interweaves the themes of “anti-war” and “love”. This structure provides a compelling lens through which to delve into the connotation and value of Kinoshita’s anti-war literature. Kinoshita Naoe’s anti-war writing is closely related to his own anti-war experience with Heiminsha. “Anti-war” is the most important political ideal of the heroes in his works, which is rare in Japanese prewar literature. In Kinoshita’s thoughts, “love” is almost a synonym for humanitarianism, which is inseparable from his individualistic stance. Therefore, in his literature, prominence of “love” gradually supersedes that of “anti-war” and occupies a central position in the text. Both “anti-war” and “love” are premised on the existence of “God”. However, the role of ‘God’ ultimately fails in establishing a true connection between “anti -war” and “love”. The anti-war literature and ideology of Kinoshita Naoe mark a significant starting point in the history of modern anti-war culture and literature in Japan. The relationship between humanism, individualism, and political ideals in his anti -war literature has also emerged as a pivotal concern in subsequent discussions on the history of anti- war literature and ideology.
