This is the revised and enlarged edition of Ienaga Saburo's collected essays, "Studies in the History of Modern Japanese Thought." Although "modern" is in the title, the essays cover a wide range of topics, starting with Chikamatsu and Ando Shoeki, and including the early Meiji period figures Ueki Emori, Fukuzawa Yukichi, Nishimura Shigeki, Taoka Reiun, Masaoka Geiyo, the anti-war arguments of the Minken-sha and the Yorozu Choho, and even the Japanese view of Western clothing. Published by the University of Tokyo Press. This is the fourth printing of the revised and enlarged edition from 1971. It's an old book, but I think it's in good condition for its age. The cellophane wrapper is also still intact and clean.
