Fukuzawa Yukichi (1835-1901), Meiji Japan's leading interpreter of Western civilization ,is known primarily for his role as educator. In this collection of 35 selected works, we hear the words of a philosopher and writer, immensely popular in his day, on the many educational questions that confronted his modernizing from practical matters like school and dormitory regulations , subjects of instruction, and textbooks to more fundamental issues like moral education, the promotion of utilitarian and scientific education over traditional Confucian teachings, and the relationship between the government and academia. Fukuzawa was a prolific writer as well as the publisher of a daily newspaper, Jiji shimp, and through his writing and speeches he became arguably the most influential person in Meiji Japan outside of government service. Fukuzawa chose to contribute to his country's quest for modernization and Westernization as a private citizen, and he remained the government's sharp critic throughout his life. As can be gleaned from these selections, independence and self-respect were values that he championed, and he imposed upon himself the task of serving as amodel for his fellow citizen
