In Search of the Way is a history of intellectual and religious
developments in Japan during the Tokugawa period, covering the
years 1582-1860. It begins with an explanation of the fate of
Christianity, and proceeds to cover the changing nature of the
relationship between Buddhism and secular authority, new
developments in Shinto, and the growth of 'Japanese studies'. The
main emphasis, however, is on the process by which Neo-Confucianism
captured the imagination of the intellectual class and informed
debate throughout the period. This process was expressed in terms
of a never-ending search for the Way, a mode and pattern of
existence that could provide not only order for society at large,
but self-fulfilment for the individual. The narrative traces how
ideas and attitudes changed through time, and is based on the
premise that the Tokugawa period is important in and of itself, not
merely as a backdrop to the Meiji Restoration of 1868.
