Mirror of Modernity
Revolution and Subjectivity in Postwar Japan
Semantic Realism and Kripke's Wittgenstein
This article argues, first, that the fundamental structure of the skeptical argument in Kripke's book on Wittgenstein has been seriously misunderstood by recent commentators. Although it focuses particularly on recent commentary by John McDowell, it emphasizes that the basic misunderstandings are widely shared by other commentators. In particular, it argues that, properly construed, Kripke offers a fully coherent reading of PI #201 and related pa…

Patriots and Redeemers in Japan
In this concise but ambitious historiographical essay, Wilson argues for an approach to the Meiji Restoration that emphasizes multiple lines of motive and action. By bringing some very interesting critical theory to his reading, Wilson has produced a book that will shift the terms of discussion on this event.--Harry D. Harootunian

Narration in Light
A full understanding and appreciation of narrative film, George Wilson argues, requires a concept of point of view necessarily distinct from, yet comparable to, contemporary theories of point of view in prose fiction. Now available in paperback, Narration in Light lays the foundations for a new account of cinematic point of view. Focusing on the special ways in which a film controls the access of its viewers to the events that constitute its narr…
The Intentionality of Human Action
The Origins of Socialist Thought in Japan
Plots and Motives in Japan's Meiji Restoration
Like other dramatic and discontinuous historical processes, the Meiji Restoration of 1868 possesses the inherent fascination to sustain yet another rehearsal of its basic course of events. The present one differs from others in several ways. It does not center on samurai heroes and villains contesting foreign incursion. Instead it identifies fully four groups that acted during the late Tokugawa era, the years 1850-68, known by the generic periodi…
A Critique of Film Theory
The Maddest McGuffin
When Roger Thornhill is abducted from the Oak Bar of the Plaza Hotel, he is planning an evening at the theater. Instead, he finds himself deposited by a pair of menacing thugs in the library of a Glen Cove mansion. Phillip Vandamm enters the room, briefly inspects his frustrated captive, and sweeps shut the floor-to-ceiling curtains that border a large picture window. And then the following exchange takes place
On Definite and Indefinite Descriptions
IN discussing Russell's theory of definite descriptions, it is tempting to reduce that whole theory to some fairly simple, encapsulating slogan. One says, for example, that Russell held that statements of the form (1) (A is 4 have the logical form of (2) (Ex) (ox & (y) (0y -* y=x) & Ax). Having added to this, perhaps, a few supplementary remarks on the question of scope, one proceeds to attack or to defend the nutshell view. However, I wish to su…

Again, Theory
Kita Ikki's Theory of Revolution
Postwar Japanese scholarship, in its quest to explain Japan's modern history, has yet to deal adequately with the so-called right wing. Survey histories sometimes write it off as a lunatic fringe, or equate it simply with militarism and putschism. My purpose here is not to venture a total picture of the right but to present a microcosmic analysis of doctrines attributed to it through focusing on the theory of revolution formulated early in the Ta…
