These closely linked texts illustrate the core tenets of his philosophical outlook: freedom and equality as inherent to human nature, independence as the goal of any individual and nation, and the transformation of the Japanese mind as key to advancing in a rapidly evolving political and cultural world. In these essays, Fukuzawa advocated for the adoption of Western modes of education to help the Japanese people build a modern nation. He also believed that human beings' treatment of one another extended to and was reflected in their government's behavior, echoing the work of John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, and other Western thinkers in a classically structured Eastern text. This volume translates the full text into English and includes a chronology of Japanese history as it relates to Fukuzawa and his work. An introduction provides additional background on the life and influence of this profound thinker, and a selection of representative writings and suggestions for further reading fully introduce readers to the rare brilliance of his thought. 606 $aEducation$xPhilosophy 606 $aEducation$zJapan 615 0$aEducation$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEducation 676 $a370.1 700 $aFukuzawa$b Yukichi$f1835-1901.$0635303 701 $aDilworth$b David A.$f1934-$01640718 701 $aNishikawa$b Shunsaku$0146077 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818468303321 996 $aAn encouragement of learning$93984385 997 $aUNINA
