Bushido encompasses the values and principles that guided the samurai’s way of life. This classic work by Inazo Nitobe explores the moral code of the samurai in feudal Japan and remains a significant text in the realm of Japanese culture and philosophy. He discusses loyalty, honor, self-discipline, and compassion while introducing the reader to Japanese history and philosophy, and shedding light on the social and political landscape of feudal Japan. It’s a fascinating and enlightening read. ( ) O autor toma como missão apresentar o bushido como uma filosofia de vida digna e louvável para leitores não-japoneses, em um formato interessante, por tópicos engrenados, e usando comparações com grandes autores (Shakespeare, Emerson, Nietzsche), ideias e doutrinas (cristianismo) ocidentais. Sua erudição atua, portanto, em favor do convencimento comparativo - tanto quanto aspectos culturais do ocidente, mas de outra forma, a cultura medieval japonesa e a figura do samurai fizeram florescer noções louváveis de conduta e valores sociais. Com isso, claro, é uma visão de época, quando o Bushido já se sobrevive apenas por seu legado indireto, e há uma romantização que se esquece dos problemas sociais para focar na nobreza do indivíduo que constrói sua vida para uma sociabilidade nobre, do guerreiro homem, disciplinado e compenetrado, corajoso mas sóbrio, onde a mulher tem um papel subordinado e a vida vale menos que a honra e o dever. Uma boa leitura para uma visão idealizada. While the writing style and references to current events date the book academically, I found the book engaging and informative. Especially interesting was to read about the Way of the Bushi from a culture that was directly descended from it, rather than its grandchild. The only bit that soured me was the poo-pooing of the women's rights movement. I would recommend this book for a unique and nearly internal view of Bushido culture. An interesting book. Being a non-fiction book part philosophy/history bein g a bit 'dry' I expected it to be a bit dry. The quotations from so many western philosophers was done, I'm guessing, to give those of us with a western background a point of reference. I would rate this as a good introduction to Bushido but not as a first exposure to Japanese culture or history. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: Bushido, often translated as Way of the Warrior, came from the Samurai way of life and moral code. It emphasized loyalty, skill, moderation and honor, and became a widespread influence throughout Japan. In Shogakukan Kokugo Daijiten, the Japanese dictionary, "Bushido is defined as a unique philosophy (ronri) that spread through the warrior class from the Muromachi (chusei) period." Nitobe Inazo, in his book Bushido: The Soul of Japan, described it in this way. "...Bushido, then, is the code of moral principles which the samurai were required or instructed to observe... More frequently it is a code unuttered and unwritten... It was an organic growth of decades and centuries of military career." .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
