Notes

【Course Objectives】

To become familiar with major trends and figures in Japan’s intellectual history.

To read critically primary sources from Japan’s intellectual history in English translation.

To consider the construction of Nihonjinron discourse as an oppositional response to Western models of modernity.

【Course Contents】

Japan’s intellectual history is a product of both its traditional relations with East Asian neighbors and its engagement with the West following the Meiji restoration. In this course, we will explore the Edo period foundations of Japan’s modern intellectual history and we will then examine the century-long dialogue between Japanese intellectuals and international schools of thought and trends and examine how Japanese intellectuals sought to formulate the problematic of a non-Western modernity which came to influence the modern intellectual histories of Japanese neighbors as well. We will examine both academic and popular intellectual trends and also will consider the development and role of Nihonjinron discourse in modern Japan.
