The Japanese Ideology

Very sober and thorough critique of fascism and liberalism (and its inability to stand up against fascism or even its willingness to assist fascism) that is unfortunately weighted down by chapters that are almost inconprehensible to someone not well versed in the philosophy/academic works of interwar Japan. Tosaka's critique is also very abstract at times (especially his points on literaturism and philology) but he manages to ground them in reality

Long and tiring read, but worth it
