A comprehensive study of the changing political thought during the Tokugawa period, the book traces the philosophical roots of Japanese modernization. Professor Maruyama describes the role of Sorai Confucianism and Norinaga Shintoism in breaking the stagnant boundaries of Chu Hsi Confucianism, the fundamental political philosophy of the feudal state of Tokugawa. He explains how the new schools of thought have created an intellectual climate in which ideas and practices of modernization can flourish.
