Features: Yasuyuki Komori is a rare exception among Japanese scholars who have received enthusiastic acclaim from Chinese intellectuals. His critical analysis of Japanese nationalism in an "insubordinate" manner; his decisive reconfigurations across multiple fields—linguistics, history, intellectual history, national language studies, and more; and his comprehensive examination of Japanese modernization from the perspective of the national language—all have resonated strongly with and prompted deep reflection among China's intellectual community. All of this is witnessed in the words of this book.
