Daniel Bell and Japan
by Sumiko Iwao

Retrospective: Danger and Hope at the End of the Twentieth Century: The Fate of Civil Society
Daniel Bell and Masakazu Yamazaki in conversation
— In this dialogue appearing in the very first issue of Asteion (Summer 1986), Bell and Yamazaki discussed society and politics in Japan and the United States paying special attention to Bell’s theory of civil society.

▼Bell and Yamazaki enjoyed a correspondence spanning twenty-five years. This letter from Bell on the contemporary significance of civil society was published along with the original dialogue, and now Yamazaki pens a reply a quarter of a century later.

A Respect for “Public Intelligence” Should Lead to Better Politics
by Takenori Inoki

by Masashi Miura

Intellectuals and Society One Hundred Years After the Start of the Taisho Period
by Tadashi Karube
— Urbanization, mass society, academic specialization — these gained momentum from the 1920s. Due to ignoring such trends the intellectual activity of Japanese intellectuals faltered, but that tendency is still evident today.
