The training which led up to the present study represents a somewhat unusual venture, in that this was the first time at Harvard that a joint degree was issued by these two departments. This training is reflected in the study in the combination of a theoretical approach derived from sociology with the methods of historical research developed by the humanistic discipline whose special concern is with Far Eastern civilization. I am indebted to both the Social Science Research Council and the Harvard-Ye nching Institute for financial support which allowed me to devote my full time to the research for and writing of this study. It was Serge Elisseeff who, in his lectures on Japanese litera ture, first interested me in Shingaku, and it was with him also that I first studied Shingaku texts. I am indebted both to Professor Elisseeff and to Edwin O. Reischauer for much in my understand ing of Japanese history and culture. My thesis advisors were John Pelzel and Talcott Parsons. Both were extremely helpful throughout; the former giving me the bene fit of his extensive knowledge of Japanese culture and society and the latter providing the theoretical framework within which the thesis was largely carried out. Albert M. Craig read the manuscript throughout and made several suggestions which have been incor porated in the text. Tatsuo Arima was most helpful in checking my translations from Japanese and was kind enough to write the characters in the lists of terms and names at the end of the book.
