Arnold Joseph Toynbee CH FBA (14 April 1889 - 22 October 1975) was a British historian, a philosopher of history, an author of numerous books and a research professor of international history at the London School of Economics and King's College in the University of London. Toynbee in the 1918-1950 period was a leading specialist on international affairs. He is best known for his 12-volume A Study of History (1934-1961). With his prodigious output of papers, articles, speeches and presentations, and numerous books translated into many languages, Toynbee was a widely read and discussed scholar in the 1940s and 1950s. The thirteen authors who have combined to write this book represent modern scholarship at its widest and deepest. Integral to the book are the illustrations. Two researchers, specially qualified in oriental studies, spent over a year in tracking documents, paintings, and works of art in museums all over the world to form a unique collection, much of it unpublished until now. The contributors include: D. C. Twitchett, E. Glahn, Owen Lattimore, Wing-tsit Chan, S. Nakayama, James J. Y. Liu, Zenryu Tsukamoto, Charles D. Sheldon, Carmen Blacker, Donald Keene, Paul A. Cohen, Y. Toriumi, Jean Chesneaux As the world shrinks and all nations become involved with one another, Western ignorance of the great and ancient civilizations of China and Japan seems as benighted as the medieval astronomers' ignorance of the solar system. Aware of the relative unfamiliarity of the subject, the thirteen scholars who contributed to this book assumed nothing but the reader's desire to know, while resisting the temptation to oversimplify. By way of prologue there is a chapter on the Chinese script, which has served to give Chinese civilization its 3,000-year continuity and which unites it to Japan. The second chapter covers the political and social history of China to the end of the Manchu era, followed by separate discussions of foreign relations, religion, philosophy, science, and literature. The section ends by showing how Chinese civilization was carried to Korea, Vietnam, Tibet, and Japan--followed by a parallel treatment of Japanese history and culture as far as the Meiji Restoration. The final chapters trace the impact of the West on China and Japan, and examine the roles of both countries in the modern world. Integral to the book, and of outstanding importance in their own right, are the illustrations, which draw upon documents, paintings, and works of art in museums all over the world to form a unique collection. East Asia, past and present, comes to life with an unprecedented vividness and authenticity.…
