| Testimonial | This book is a discussion of university academics written by Hauerwas, one of the leading theologians of modern America, looking at the state of American universities in recent years. Hauerwas is a professor of theology who has taught for many years at Duke University, a well-known Methodist university, and was the recipient of the 2001 Gifford Lecture. His interesting information and presentation of issues on modern American universities, which stem from his extensive reading and diverse intellectual exchanges, are useful and stimulating in themselves, but at the base of his discussions is a theory of academic systems that references the 19th century British polymath John Henry Newman. Comparing his work with Allan Bloom's The End of the American Mind, which was once a hot topic in Japan but now seems to have been forgotten, highlights the fundamental problems of university academic theory in America, and indeed in the modern world. |

| Testimonial | This book is the result of the Aoyama Gakuin University University Research Institute's project research "The Formation of the Nation" (2011-2012), and is published as part of the Research Institute Series. Using "nation," "nationalism," and "ethnicity" as key words, the book deals with the process of modern nation-state formation from a world history perspective, starting with Japan in the Meiji period and tracing it back to the Middle Ages, then pre-modern China and France, then modern Britain and France, and finally Latin America (Mexico). Rather than dealing with the formation of modern nation states in each country and region individually, the book also takes into consideration mutual comparison. What makes this book unique is that it places ethnicity at the forefront, a topic that tends to be limited to minority issues in modern society. |

Translator's Afterword |
| Testimonial | At the time of the original blueprint, the modern Japanese university had eliminated the dimension of human spirituality related to philosophy, which should be related to the integration of various academic disciplines, or the dimension of divine spirituality related to theology. The activities of the Schaftslehre were also completely omitted. The Institute of Science and Technology Research Project "Systematics of Science" translated Paul Tillich's "System of Sciences" (originally published in 1923) (Hosei University Press, 2012) and this book (originally published in 1973) into Japanese as valuable materials in this field. If the former is a comprehensive presentation by a theologian of the philosophical theory of systematics of science since the University of Berlin, this book is a critical analysis of the history of scientific theory that developed from that time until the second half of the 20th century, and a self-understanding of theology as a science within that history. The author was a leading contemporary German theologian who passed away on September 11th at the age of 86. |
