Summary

This book examines the contemporary relevance of the East-West ecology of thought and practice present in and inspired by the educational perspectives of American philosopher John Dewey (1859–1952) and the Japanese progenitors of sōka, or “value-creating,” approaches to life and education and the Soka organizations and institutions they advanced embodying and memorializing these in name and ethos: Makiguchi Tsunesaburō (1871–1944), Toda Jōsei (1900–1958), and Ikeda Daisaku (1928–2023).
