Présentation de l'éditeur

Committee that it is formed for the purpose of instituting popular courses in the History of Religion, and he has attempted, therefore, in brief compass, to set forth for the general public the results of the scientific study of the Religions of Japan. His specific object is to exhibit the continuity and the development of the religious life of the people. Modern research shows at once the unity and the variety of religious experience in different ages and lands. There is unity, since mens minds respond in like fashion to the influences which are common to humanity. Given similar surroundings, physical, economic, social, political and the race reveals its oneness by the similarity of its response. Yet circum stances are never quite alike, and, besides, there is the incalculable factor of individual genius, so that there is a wide diversity in the expression of this response.
