"A closed country in the open seas: Engelbert Kaempfer's Japanese solution for European modernity's predicament" . "1"^^ . . "3" . . "268622800002" . . . "1"^^ . "A purported pioneering attempt in western Japanese studies, Engelbert Kaempfer's (1651\u20131716) classic History of Japan has generally not been considered in its relation to the debate on Europe's own moral and political predicament. Yet, Kaempfer's apology of the Tokugawa closed-country policy arguably offers answers to standard questions formulated within the wider European debate on commerce and government. This paper reinserts Kaempfer's argument into the context of such contrasting contemporaneous positions as those represented, respectively, by Joseph Addison's view of global commerce in The Spectator and by Fran\u00E7ois F\u00E9nelon's vision of the ideal commonwealth of Salente in his Aventures de T\u00E9lemaque."@en . . .
