This is a synthesis of Japanese history, religion, culture and social organization. The book explores the Japanese historical legacy and its impact on the Japanese experience of modernity, eschewing the polemicism of structuralist or culturalist approaches in favour of a comparative analysis.

This collection of 12 theoretical essays spans more than 40 years of research in order to explore the bases of human action and society. Framed by a new introduction and an extensive epilogue, the essays trace the major developments of contemporary sociological theory and analysis.
