-chapter xxi. MORAL IDEALS 255 righteousness and loyalty and truth to naught. Among the Westerners who from of old have studied details minutely, I have not heard of one who was zealous for the Great Way, for benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and truth, and who opposed the absurdities of the Lord of Heaven [God].'* ' Let then the child make its par- ent. Heaven; the retainer, his lord; the wife, her husband; and let each give up life for righteousness. Thus will each serve Heaven. But if we ...exalt Heaven above parent or lord, we shall come to think that we can serve it though they be disobeyed, and like wolf or tiger shall rejoice to kill them. To such fearful end does the Western learning lead." f The foregoing quotations reveal the exalted nature of the ideals held by at least some of the leaders of ethical thought in Japan.

The feudal structure of society has determined the peculiar character of the moral ideal.
