A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Arnason deals with the complex relationship between patterns of Japanese modernity and the civilizational legacy on which they draw. He discusses the East Asian regional context of Japanese civilization, deals with the dynamics of state formation and the attendant cultural transformations in premodern Japan, and suggests ways of comparing the Japanese experience to that of the west. Presenting Japan as a test case for relating the emerging problematic of multiple modernities to civilizational perspectives, Arnason examines the economic foundations as well as philosophical self-interpretations of Japanese modernity.
