Preferred term

Japanese political thought  

Definition(s)

  • Political thought emerged in a coherent form in Japan in the Tokugawa era (1600–1868), when Confucian-trained thinkers sought to make Chinese Confucianism more relevant to their own political environment. Thus began what was to become a fundamental preoccupation in Japanese political thinking thereafter, namely the relationship between ethics and politics.
