In the summer of 1960 I visited Oxford and stayed there several
months. This book was written as some slight memorial of my days in
that ancient seat of learning. It is my pleasant duty to
acknowledge the great debt I own to Mr. D. Lyness in the task of
putting it into English. In addition I remember with gratitude Dr.
J. L. Ackrill of Brasenose College, who gave me unfailing
encouragement, and also Dr. R. A. Rees of Jesus College, who read
my manuscript through and subjected it to a minute revision. Lastly
for permission to quote from Sir W. D. Ross' translation of
Aristotle's Metaphysics, I have to thank the editors of Oxford
University Press. Kyoto, Japan T.A. 61 Sep.19 . To answer the
readers' complaints that the first edition did not ex plain the
author's attitude towards metaphysics, one more chapter on new
positivism was written in 1966, but the publication was delayed
till the second edition. Special thanks are due to Mr. E. B. Brooks
for his assistance in writing English, to Prof. Philip P. Wiener,
and to Dr. R. A. Rees, both for some kind services. T. A. Okayama
