520 3 _a"Maruyama Masao (1914-96) has been widely regarded as an archetype of the twentieth-century Japanese intellectual. Immensely influential for his scholarlywork in intellectual history and political science, Maruyama also reached a wider public through extensive writing and commentary in the leading opinion journals of the postwar period, where he emerge as an outspoken advocate of lieralism and democracy. In this intellectual biography, Karube Tadashi traces Maruyama's childhood and youth in prewa and wartime Japan, vividly depicting a number of the key experiences that deepened his comjmitment to democratic ideals and motivated his quest to ground them in the autonomy and integrity of the individual. This was the perspective that informed Maruyama's postwar investigation of the problems of mass society and his efforts to reinerpet the Japanese tradition by dissecting its pathologies and tracing the alternative paths to modernity latent within it."--BOOK JACKET.
