Paperback. Condition: Good. Nakae Chomin's Discourse by Three Drunkards on Government offers a captivating glimpse into a nation grappling with modernization and the adoption of Western-style governance. Through the spirited discussions of three distinct characters-the Gentleman of Western Learning, the Champion of the East, and the enigmatic Master Nankai who loves nothing more than to drink and argue politics-Chomin skillfully navigates the competing visions and ideologies that were shaping Japan's future. Each character embodies complex and often contradictory aspects of the author's own worldview, challenging readers to engage deeply with the nuances of Meiji-era political thought. The discussion's drinking bout context allows Chomin to freely debate political issues to offer an astute analysis of contemporary European politics and a prophetic vision of Japan's direction. Readers will gain insight into the dilemmas faced by Meiji intellectuals as they sought to reconcile the demands of progress, nationalism, and democracy. The Gentleman advocates for democratic freedoms and Enlightenment ideals, while the Champion embraces a pragmatic, nationalist perspective focused on military might. Master Nankai's measured critique offers a balanced approach, emphasizing gradual political reform and the importance of aligning changes with the will and intellectual level of the people. The rich tapestry of ideas not only illuminates the historical context but also invites readers to reflect on timeless questions of governance, national identity, and the role of the individual in shaping history. This book is not just a historical account but a thought-provoking dialogue that challenges readers to consider the intricate interplay between ideas, actions, and the inexorable march of history. …

Paperback. Condition: New. School as Learning Community (SLC), or Lesson Study for Learning Community (LSLC) represents an approach to lesson study that emerged in Japan in the 1990s and which has been studied intensively by educators and researchers worldwide to establish democratic learning communities for teachers and students in schools. The model, which involves all teachers in a school observing and sharing a lesson together, creates a listening pedagogy to embrace and develop diversity of learning in each teacher and student - a practice that is as yet, not commonly researched in Asian countries outside of Japan. The book's theoretical foundation reviews existing literature on SLC and LSLC in the Japanese contexts of educational theories and practices. The chapters discuss patterns of learning practices and the challenges of conducting LSLC in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Recommendations for research and practice involving SLC/LSLC are also provided in the book with a key focus on the impact of lesson study on school reform policies.…
