3 In his Philosophy of history (tr. Sibree, 1944)Google Scholar, Hegel mentions Confucius only in passing. He says of Confucius' works: “…‥ there is a circumlocution, a reflex character, and circuitousness in the thought (which prevents it from rising above mediocrity).” (p. 136)Google Scholar

4 Maruyama is aware of the difference between European and Tokugawa feudalism and also the different usages of “feudal” by Marxists and in Weber's typology. Here vis-a-vis Sorai, he means by “feudal” simply Sorai's support of Shogunal absolutism and therefore the system involved.

5 For instance see his reasons for omitting the Ming philosophy as expounded in Japan as Yōmeigaku (p. 32, note 8). Also his emphasis on Sorai.
