[On NAKAGAMI Kinkei's Seiseido Rogosetsu (a commentary on Rongo): bibliography, philology, and philosophy of medicine].
NAKAGAMI, Kinkei's Seiseido Rogosetsu is one of his main works. It has been handed down merely as a manuscript copy. It conveys the contents regarding Kinkei's own understanding of the phrases in the Rongo, his inquiry on those sentences based on the shapes of characters, and his will for revolution. He wrote this volume because he was influenced by OGYU Sorai's commentary and he wanted to clarify his own profound medical view based on the idea that Confucianism and medicine were derived from one common origin. Accordingly, his understanding of the Rongo is above the level of a mere commentary and it has a profound philosophy of medicine.
