This book delves into the profound and influential work of Yoshihiko Uchida (1913-1989), a prominent Japanese thinker who played a crucial role in shaping the discourse on civil society in the post-World War II era. Uchida's unique perspective on civil society is characterized by his insightful understanding of the intricate metabolic relationship between human beings and nature, as well as his unwavering advocacy for a social science that is deeply rooted in the experiences and inquiries of ordinary citizens.
The development of Uchida's distinctive approach to civil society is a fascinating journey that unfolds through his reflections on a range of interconnected themes. These include the complex interplay between "the civil" and "the capitalistic," "the modern" and "the pre-modern," "the historical" and "the trans-historical," as well as the contrasting perspectives of "science by specialists" and "inquiry by laypeople." Through his meticulous examination of figures such as Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Hajime Kawakami, a prominent thinker in Japan, Uchida offers a comprehensive portrayal of his body of work and sheds light on the emergence of original democratic thought in post-war Japan.
In conclusion, this book provides a valuable entry point into the rich and thought-provoking world of Yoshihiko Uchida's civil society philosophy.
