Ishida Baigan (石田 梅岩; October 12, 1685 – October 29, 1744) was a Japanese lecturer and philosopher, born in Tanba Province,[1] who founded the Shingaku movement (heart learning) based on Neo-Confucianism, the study of the doctrines of Zhu Xi, incorporating Shinto, Buddhism and so on,[1] which advocated all education include teachings in ethics and morality.[2]
His life work has been summarized with the Confucian idea that a man that cannot control his home cannot control his nation.[citation needed] This idea helped motivate many Japanese reformists fighting for Japanese feminists, human, and people's rights.[citation needed]
