For more than 1500 years, Confucianism has played a major role in
shaping Japan's history - from the formation of the first Japanese
states during the first millennium AD, to Japan's modernization in
the nineteenth century, to World War II and its still unresolved
legacies across East Asia today. In an illuminating and provocative
new study, Kiri Paramore analyses the dynamic history of Japanese
Confucianism, revealing its many cultural manifestations, as
religion and as a political tool, as social capital and public
discourse, as well as its role in international relations and
statecraft. The book demonstrates the processes through which
Confucianism was historically linked to other phenomenon, such as
the rise of modern science and East Asian liberalism. In doing so,
it offers new perspectives on the sociology of Confucianism and its
impact on society, culture and politics across East Asia, past and
present.
