His works were also central in drawing Japanese attention to the problems inherent in western colonialism and to the cultural importance of Asia, especially China. Takeuchi's writings synthesized philosophy, literature, and history, focusing not simply on Japan and the West but rather on the triangular relationship between Japan, the West, and China. This book, which represents the first appearance of Takeuchi's essays in English translation, explores Japanese modernity, literature, and nationalism as well as Chinese intellectual history. Takeuchi's research demonstrates how Asians attempted to make sense of European modernity without sacrificing their own cultural histories. An authentic method of modernity for Asia, Takeuchi concludes, needs to stress difference and plurality as opposed to the homogenizing force of westernization. 410 0$aWeatherhead books on Asia. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General$2bisacsh 607 $aJapan$xIntellectual life$y1868- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General. 676 $a952.04 700 $aTakeuchi$b Yoshimi$f1910-1977.$0635673 701 $aCalichman$b Richard$01035063 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452236603321 996 $aWhat is modernity$92460119 997 $aUNINA
