【Course Objectives】

The objectives of this seminar are to read and discuss about the fundamental texts about culture in the Edo period. In this works, we also consider contemporary Japan. Through this works, students will learn techniques such as reporting, presenting and discussing based on a careful review of the textbook.

【Course Contents】

Because modernization and westernization were synonymous with Japan’s destiny, social sciences such as Law and Political Science fundamentally continue to be Western (origin) Law and Political Science, but the actual Japanese society where law is applied and politics operate is positioned within the pre-westernized traditions and historical background. Therefore, discrepancies between the stated reasons of the system and the realities of society are unavoidable. Because of this, it is said that, "it is difficult for Japanese people to truly understand the social sciences" and "academic disciplines which are merely imported are useless in the real society (in Japan).” This sometimes leads to arguments that "democracy" and consensus building through discussion are Western constructs that do not suit Japan (or Japanese people). So, what is the actual truth? This seminar will examine the actual state of Japanese society, which cannot be understood with just a surface level study of "social sciences originating in the West", by adding "Japanese history and intellectual traditions."
