碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 政治學研究所 === 96 === This thesis analyse the political narration of Ishihara Shintaro and its influence. By firstly contextualizing his critiques on China and his vigilance towards the United States in Japan’s post-war history and then presenting the response from Chinese and Taiwanese intellectuals, I argue that both the discourses ‘’for‘’ and ‘’against’’ discourses have their shortcomings and are lack of insight to criticize the hegemonic, American-centered epistemology which despises China. To build up a platform of peaceful dialogue, it is therefore necessary to re-form the understanding of modern East-Asian history and transcend the nation-centered epistemology beneath Ishihara’s narration.
