My school of thought and so on.

My school of thought, sect, had big influence on world of thought in Meiji era. Many took a firm stand western thoughts. Academic truth are common in academic conference but it seems school characteristics would be handed down in junior fellow, including me, over the century.



I often deny western thought. But it doesn't mean I deny western western thought but denies Japanese western thought's dark side. I want to confirm about it again. As far as I know the old members were also too.



For example, individualism. It is vital factor to unify American people have varied culture. But it is said it tears apart Japanese people. Someone say the reason is Japan is originally individualism country. That is, although Japanese properly act as a team. It is a superficial aspect of Japanese. Actually, Japanese are in an unbound state. While friendly attitude, Japanese often speak behind someone's back. That is, people with non-similar values live in this country. Americans share the same values but Japanese don't. When war happen, Americans bizarrely come together. This is inexplicable American bent for Japanese. Americans are unified. But Japanese don't and aren't. Japanese come together and work collaboratively very well. But, in essence, we don't come together mentally. So, individualism act as disassembling drug. I'm not sure this hypothesis is true or not. But as for Japanese, I think it is basically true.



Again, originally Japanese are in an unbound state. In other words, Japanese originally interacting structure. So, Japanese needed to develop by its own way. Japanese western individualism might only brings confusion into Japan. In other words, individualism is not special local product in western country. It is obvious fact. All human is individual all over the world. Someone call the Japanese original individualism as "Maltilateral Individualism.". In other words, Individualism and adjust function coexisted in Japan. When I hear this, I thought Buddhist thoughts are similar. We are same but different and we are.



I know many people who say Japanese society is backward. But if you hear it. You can have a doubt. That is, in most cases, those who say so are communist or socialist. They put Japanese society on western history. It is obvious the history is not Japanese one. It is also sure super extra right wing tend to skew history. So, I often say both left wing and super extra right wing skew the history. So, I say studying history is important.



Socialist and Communist called peaceful power by Korea. As I recall China also call it as so. China regards Japanese socialist and communist has true historical perspective. The reason is that China is communist country. It is a risibly simple logic at the core, I think.

We need a historical perspective which is not right wing and also not left wing, but which can be called as true. By chance, I want to write about this later.



Meiji era was literature men's era. They tried to seek out what they are in the modern age. It indicates that Japanese lost their self sense amid the rapid westernization. Thoughts were thrown into turmoil in the rapidly changing social situation. My school of thought held a warning for people.



There are many Japanese admire Meiji Restoration. Emperor became absolute which integrates Japanese thought. But I think, it means Japanese thoughts lost inclusiveness. Because of lacking inclusiveness, emperor was needed as polysynthetic symbol.



It seems on the site of elite education, students were taught that emperor is political tool but others taught about it as god. It seems that the answer of my question once I wrote is the matter of inclusiveness.



As the result, the age my school thought predicted became true after the WWII. Individualistic　bad effect, lost nationality, educational issue and so on. (I don't know detail about them though) I suppose when one study history and philosophy, the one can predict future to some extent. So, Japan need to develop research what we are more than now.

It seems world has been changing to western country. I don't think west or east is not true problem. True problem is that many country doesn't know what they are.



These days I had written many very serious topics. I'll try to seek out funny topic for a while.
