Light from the East: Studies in Japanese Confucianism is a book written by Robert Cornell Armstrong that explores the influence of Confucianism on Japanese culture and society. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the teachings of Confucius and how they have been interpreted and adapted in Japan. It examines the impact of Confucianism on Japanese politics, education, and ethics, and how it has shaped the country's social hierarchy and values. The book also delves into the role of Confucianism in the development of Japanese literature and art. Armstrong draws on a wide range of sources, including historical texts, philosophical treatises, and literary works, to provide a nuanced and insightful account of the complex relationship between Confucianism and Japanese culture. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Japanese history, philosophy, and culture, as well as for scholars of Confucianism and comparative religion.1904. A volume in the University of Toronto Studies in Philosophy. This work is presented to the public in the hope that it will throw light on some of the formative elements of Japanese civilization, and lead to a better understanding of Japanese character and life. Armstrong endeavors to give an outline of the history of Japanese Confucianism. The title is given to this book because any intensive study of thought in Japan involves more or less knowledge of Korea, China and India. The schools of Confucianism, which originated in China in the Sung and Ming dynasties, assimilated much from Northern Buddhism which comes from India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
