Excerpt from The Development of Philosophy in Japan: A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Princeton University, in Candidacy for the Degree, of Doctor of Philosophy
The real beginning of the philosophical development in Japan is the time of the so-called Revolution of Meiji,1 though the Oriental philosophy of life was well developed many centuries earlier and prepared the Japanese mind in complex, manifold and subtle ways for the new study of the Occidental philosophy. It is, therefore, barely a half century's progress that mainly concerns our present study. Of course it is too short for the mental development of the race, for a decade of years is only one year to the race development. In fact, the Japanese mind is still in the stage of assimilation. It cannot yet show anything which is worthy to be called a native production in the field of philosophy. It is not, however, without interest to study the mental processes of a people, who. until the middle of the nineteenth century, were entirely secluded from the outer world. A too hasty reception of such dignified thought as the Western philosophy would, indeed, have been open to suspicion. Is there not after all a danger like indigestion or suffocation of the mind? How and in what manner have the Japanese assimilated the new and difficult thought? What is their merit and what is their defect in philosophical development? What will be their future? These and kindred questions require our careful and faithful investigation. Some may deplore as unduly indulgent the assumption that the Japanese labors in the field of philosophy are deserving of such study. I should claim that their very immaturity may lend added interest to the enquiry and may even serve as a claim to our special attention. But even though my task may be regarded by some as of little consequence, I shall strive to describe it in a faithful manner.
