本論文以明治大學教授泉哲和他的臺灣學生林呈祿在《臺灣青年》及其後續刊物《臺灣》的投稿為研究對象，探討二者如何建構他們所期望的殖民統治下的自由主義理論。本論文研究發現，泉哲關注國際自由事業，傾向於以臺灣與日本共享全球利益的理念爲基礎，從泛化的角度與殖民主義打交道。與此同時，林呈祿則利用自己的漢人傳統來抵禦日本人的同化，並藉助現代性來批判日本不充分的現代化。本論文研究發現，林呈祿運用自己的生活經驗，對他所接觸到的西方理論進行批判，提出了一個既能適應漢人傳統習俗，又能順應臺灣人對現代性追求的自由主義的細緻描述。

This thesis studies the contributions that Meiji University professor Izumi Tetsu and his Taiwanese student Lin Chenglu made to Tai Oan Chheng Lian and its successor publication Taiwan to examine how each figure constructed his desired Liberalist theories of colonial governance. This thesis finds that Izumi focuses on international liberal causes, engaging colonialism from a genericized perspective predicated on the assumption that the Taiwanese share Japanese global interests. Meanwhile, Lin uses his Han Chinese heritage to fend against Japanese assimilation while simultaneously appealing to modernity to highlight the shortcomings of Japan’s insufficient modernization. Ultimately, Lin employs his lived experience to critique the Western theories to which he was exposed, creating a version of Liberalism that could accommodate Han Chinese cultural and the Taiwanese aspiration for modernity.
