Description
Anarchist Modernity: Cooperatism and Japanese-Russian Intellectual Relations in Modern Japan (Harvard East Asian Monographs) In the mid-19th century, Russian radicals saw the Meiji Restoration as a revolutionary turning point with far-reaching implications for global progress. They established secret transnational networks with Japan, connecting influential thinkers and cultural figures through correspondence, travel, and networking. These unofficial relationships played a significant role in shaping Japanese intellectual and cultural life between 1860 and 1930. Cooperatist anarchist modernity, a commitment to realizing a modern society through mutual aid and voluntary activity, emerged as a major current in this period. This approach later influenced movements such as the Nonwar Movement, Esperantism, and the popularization of natural sciences. Sho Konishi's Anarchist Modernity offers a new perspective on Japanese history, challenging traditional notions of Western modernity and highlighting the importance of forgotten or dismissed intellectual currents.
