Ecology and Japanese History
Much ecological thought today turns to Japan's past for inspiration. The reason, according to conservative Japanese ecologists, deep ecologists, and environmental philosophers, is that Japan's history of aesthetic "oneness" with nature provides a model for the world to emulate as it addresses the global environmental crisis.

They approached this “woman problem” as a struggle between two competing moral ideals for women: the “good wife/wise mother” and the “new woman.” Proponents of the former condemned the latter as a dangerous threat to “traditional” gender norms. Yet new women—few in number and with their publications closely regulat…
Völkerpsychologie and the Appropriation of “Spirit” in Meiji Japan
Conceptions of Geist (mind/spirit) associated with German Romanticism shaped ideologies of national folk, not only in Europe but elsewhere in the world. In Meiji Japan (1868–1912) psychologists drew upon Volkerpsychologie (folk psychology) and Geist to create a narrative of Japanese folk mind/spirit. Here, spirit functioned as a “hidden essence” which substantiated the integrity of the folk, positioned the folk hierarchically in opposition to oth…
