This book contains short analyses (kaidai) of Ogyu Sorai's
(1666-1728) most important works, as well as a biography and a
number of essays. The essays explore various aspects of his
teachings, of the origins of his thought, and of the reception of
his ideas in Japan, China, and Korea before and after
"modernization" struck in the second half of the nineteenth
century. Ogyu Sorai has come to be considered the pivotal thinker
in the intellectual history of Early Modern Japan. More research
has been done on Sorai than on any other Confucian thinker of this
period. This book disentangles the modern reception from the way in
which Sorai's ideas were understood and evaluated in Japan and
China in the century following his death. The joint conclusion of
the research of a number of the foremost specialists in Japan,
Taiwan, and the West is that Sorai was and remains an original,
innovative, and important thinker, but that his position within
East-Asian thought should be redefined in terms of the East-Asian
tradition to which he belonged, and not in the paradigms of
European History of Philosophy or Intellectual History. The book
represents up-to-date scholarship and allows both the young scholar
to acquaint himself with Sorai, and the intellectual historian to
compare Sorai with other thinkers of other times and of other
philosophical traditions.
