This volume examines the careers and intellectual positions of
three prominent Japanese "dissidents" in the later Imperial period
- Minobe Tatsukichi, Sakai Toshihiko and Saito Takao - as
individual responses to the new forms of authority that appeared
after the Meiji Restoration of 1868. The principles to which each
adhered - the rule of law, socialist egalitarianism, and
representative government - contributed to the new ideas about
authority and the individual in post-Restoration Japan. They also
remain fundamental (at least in theory) in today's Japanese polity
and society. The study reaffirms the serious limitations of the
pre-war Japanese political system, its structural and institutional
problems, and deep-rooted ambivalence about democratic change. But
it also confirms the birth of an alternative tradition in which
individuals began to define and sponsor the processes of national
self-regulation. The book traces the perspectives of three such
individuals who chose to contest the new power arrangements through
their writings and political activities.
