It begins with an explanation of the fate of Christianity, and proceeds to cover the changing nature of the relationship between Buddhism and secular authority, new developments in Shinto, and the growth of 'Japanese studies'. The main emphasis, however, is on the process by which Neo-Confucianism captured the imagination of the intellectual class and informed debate throughout the period. This process was expressed in terms of a never-ending search for the Way, a mode and pattern of existence that could provide not only order for society at large, but self-fulfilment for the individual. The narrative traces how ideas and attitudes changed through time, and is based on the premise that the Tokugawa period is important in and of itself, not merely as a backdrop to the Meiji Restoration of 1868. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Philosophy $z Japan $x History. 651 0 $a Japan $x Religion $y 1600-1868. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85069564 650 7 $a Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060777 650 7 $a Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093763 651 7 $a Japan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 648 7 $a 1600-1868 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213015813.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=02E99832EAD411E7BA71765497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
