8 As a study of Japanese approaches to Asian studies deserves comprehensive treatment, the author can not enter into a full discussion at this point. The author would, however, like to mention one thing. The apolitical and highbrowed scholars were often forced to express their opinions on contemporary affairs. These opinions used to be unusually naive and sometimes too abstract and emotional, far different from their ways of handling historical subjects soberly and objectively.
