rick_sam's review against another edition
3.0
A. Why did I read this work?
My quest for understanding Eastern authors perspective on the West. I was looking for answers between Inter-civilization discourse East-West.
Fukuzawa Yukichi, one of founders of Modern Japan, opened Dutch school of learning, Keio University. I suggest, you remember Rangaku, Japanese dutch experimental school of learning.
B. What is my qualms with his work?
Fukuzawa doesn't talk about honor/shame that ties between East and West.
I've been exploring works on Great Divergence, East, and West differences.
Fukuzawa also gives a good questions to ponder about.
"Morality hasn't progressed or improved when compared with knowledge."
Whether it is Buddhism, Christianity, Shintoism.
C. What is the core contribution of his work?
His book starts with the basis of argumentation, western civilization, the essence of civilization.
The meat of his book is on page 145.
For readers, unfamiliar with Japanese history, Western Civilization.
His key point is that the West has pursued Knowledge and Virtue.
The essential idea on page 145.
Worth reading if you are not familiar with Japanese history.
Deus Vult,
Gottfried
