In this philosophical study of the later writings of the leading Social Darwinist of Meiji Japan, Baron Kato Hiroyuki (1836–1916), Davis argues that Kato developed his own philosophical "system." The study's purpose is to recover a "missing link" in the development of Darwinist social thought as a global phenomenon. As such, Davis engages Kato as a thinker and determines what was really at stake in his theory of moral and political naturalism.
