ISHIDA BAIGAN asserts that real learning is the polishing of the mind, which is the lord of the body according to Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and Shintoism, and to see the form of things to practice in accordance with the form, in defiance of the criticism of the Ancient Learning School <Kogaku-ha> ; that is to say, the argument of the mind and the nature in the philosophical sense is not learning. If we could see the form of things, we could enlighten the actual state of them and so we could necessarily understand how they should be. In terms of mankind, by the use of learning, we can understand social roles and the duty of shi <warriors> and noh <farmers>, koh <artisans>, sho <merchants> and the way of the human community. Having these contents and capacity is real learning. Owing to real learning, ISHIDA BAIGAN can say that the merchant lives by the profits from sales and that earning profits for sale is the honest conduct of the merchant. And he asserts that the merchant's profit from sale is like a warrior's stipend. ISHIDA BAIGAN gives high praise to the rule of TOKUGAWA BAKUFU and for 15 years prior to his death was active in the education of people by popular morality for adaptation to the existing establishment. However we can not evaluate the ethics of the people for whose education he exerts himself, but evaluate his philosophy of mind about what form they practice, and what leads him to find the functions of commerce and merchant's ethics which are based on them.
