By doing so, two fundamental questions come to the fore. First, what does his political theory express that is worth remembering? The question still deserves to be asked since there exist at least two possible but widely different readings of the theory: traditional and religious vs. secular and modern (or even postmodern, for some), both grounded on apparently explicit and unambiguously strong statements. For this reason, Sorai\u2019s political theory presents us with the classic problem of the interpretation of the treatment of contradictions and incoherence. The favored reading that will emerge should prompt the question of \u201cwhy?\u201d: Why do these factors make such a bold theory conceivable? The argument will draw on Max Weber\u2019s insights into \u201celective affinities,\u201d as well as on Bourdieu\u2019s notion of habitus, hoping to provide a concrete example for an often obscure concept. The answer to this \u201cwhy\u201d question is to be found in the role of conventions, pretenses, and self-deceit of the bushi society of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Olivier Ansart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>He obtained his doctorate in Chinese studies (University of Paris, 1981), joined the French foreign service, and then returned to academia fifteen years later, this time in the field of Japanese studies.
