The Ancient Indian Concept of the Soul -Summary-

The author of this paper in cooperation with Ryuta Takada
as translation consultant has attempted to put E.Arbman
(1891-1959)’s long　and important article， “Untersuchungen
zur primitiven Seelenvorstellung mit besonderer R?cksicht alf
Indien Ⅱ，Altindischer Seelenglaube，sein Ursprung und seine
Entwicklung”， Monde Oriental，21，1927, pp.1-185， into
Japanese. It is possible to say that Arbman was the first scholar
of religious studies who combined lndian philology with
anthropology.In this sense his tesearch is very unique and still
valuable. He tried to examine the transmigration or
metempsychosis theory of the soul in the Upanishads in terms of
the continuity of the Vedic thought. It is important that he
regarded such kind of theory as one that belonged to the
“primitive”cultures. It seems that his radical proposition to
interpret Indian philosophy as “primitive” ethnological theory
could have been quite reaonable as Levi-Strauss also developed
a similar approach in his noted work The Savage Mind.
