    First Published in 2005. This book is by no means an abstract volume addressed to the scholarly reader. It is concerned throughout with the conceptions and ideals of the Japanese people in the early part of the twentieth century, whose clear comprehension and practice by all members of the community is essential for the healthy development of the national life. No other nation in history has passed through such radical changes so successfully in such a short period of time. Anyone interested in discovering the basis of Japan's phenomenal success will find this volume interesting.
