This book contemplates on the formation of the East Asian international society and the surrounding method of thinking from an international political thought perspective. Thus, the author explains the East Asian discourse and the character and the historical mode of the East Asian thinking from an international societalization perspective. However, this book differs from the ordinary East Asian discourse which deals with the formation of regional cooperation and local communities by elucidating the ontology and epistemology of the social relationships between the regional states. In other words, this book can be differentiated from the preexisting publications on the history of political thought that depend on the ideology by focusing on the meaning and concept of the political language articulated in historical contexts.
