Quiet-Sitting and Political Activism
This paper shows that quiet-sitting (seiza)a Neo-Confudan meditative practice, accommodated, at least in the thought of Sato Naokata, a readi ness to endorse energetic political activism, especially in the form of aggres sive opposition to tyranny. The paper first examines Naokata y s writings on quiet-sitting, especially his Seiza setsu hikki (Notes on quiet-sitting), to establish the pervasive importance of quiet-sitting to Naokata. The paper t…
Ito Jinsai's Gomo Jigi and the Philosophical Definition of Early Modern Japan

Rethinking the Ako Ronin Debate
This paper suggests that the Tokugawa Confucian debate over the Ako revenge vendetta was, in part, a religious debate over the posthumous sta tus of the forty-six ronin who murdered Lord Kira Yoshinaka as an act of revenge for the sake of their deceased master, Asano Naganori. At issue in the debate was whether the forty-six ronin were chushin gishi, a notion typ ically translated as "loyal and righteous samurai. " The paper shows, how ever, that…

Two Mencian Political Notions in Tokugawa Japan
Motoori Norinaga's `The Two Shrines of Ise
Beixi's ‘Ziyi’ and Ancient Learning Philosophical Lexicography
Yamaga Sokō (1622–85), Itō Jinsai (1627–1705), and Ogyū Sorai (1666–1728) are generally recognized as the three luminaries of the kogaku , or “Ancient Learning”, philosophical movement of Tokugawa Japan (1603–1868). One of the most conspicuous features of their masterworks is their lexicographical methodology. The origins of that methodology are found, this paper suggests, in (I) Chen Beixi's (Jpn: Chin Hokukei; 1159–1223) Xingli ziyi (Jpn: Seiri…

To determine whether the proposed dimensions of appraisal are consistent across cultures, 973 Ss from the United States, Japan, Hong Kong, and the People's Republic of China were asked to describe emotional experiences. Few differences between the 3 cultures were observed on the more primitive dimensions (pleasantness, attentional …
