About the Book

The idea that society progresses through stages of development, from savagery to civilization, arose in eighteenth-century Europe. Craig traces how Fukuzawa Yukichi, deeply influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment, “translated” the idea for Japanese society, both enriching and challenging the concept.

Review :
An important book about Japan's leading nineteenth-century thinker. In tracing the origins of Fukuzawa's ideas and showing us how and why he emphasized certain aspects of Western thought, Albert Craig offers excellent insights into the forces for change that Fukuzawa spearheaded in Japan's quest to achieve equality with the West. A tour de force of succinct, clear prose, this work is a significant contribution to intellectual and Japanese history. -- Fred G. Notehelfer, University of California, Los Angeles Considering Fukuzawa's towering importance in the intellectual and cultural history of modern Japan, the English-language literature on him is astonishingly thin, so Craig's fine, elegant book is a welcome addition. In a rich and subtle analysis, Craig reconstructs Fukuzawa's reading of thinkers ranging from Locke and the luminaries of the Scottish Enlightenment, Guizot and Buckle, to American popular geographers. He provides a real sense of the texture and tone of the mid-nineteenth century--of the world as it first industrialized--as it impinged on Fukuzawa's consciousness. -- Andrew Barshay, University of California, Berkeley
