The purpose of this study is to investigate the problem of tolerance focusing on Ogyū Sorai(1666〜1728), a confucian scholar who influenced most on Japanese political thoughts. To reach this problem, this study investigated how problem of 'communication', 'care', and 'recognition' is recognized in 'human being' Sorai understood and 'role' given to human being. Furthermore this study analyzed how these values were developed in public politics and how private affairs have their status in the public politics. Sorai insisted that politicians should recognize social role of individual and exclude politics by arbitrary rule, and empower lower positions people. Such empowerment can make social community and its order be maintained. Eventually Sorai pursued public politics. He did not deny the existence of each individual so he recognized the private territory. This fact is based on his judgement that completion of public politics is possible by recognizing individual.
