Introduction: Is the Samurai code a reliable ethical system for 2026, or is it a romanticized reconstruction from the Meiji era? In this deep-dive debate, we explore Inazo Nitobe’s 1900 classic, 'Bushido: The Soul of Japan'.

We analyze whether these 7 core virtues—Rectitude, Respect, Courage, Honor, Benevolence, Honesty, and Loyalty—provide a necessary moral compass for modern leadership, or if they carry dangerous geopolitical baggage from the past. Join us as we dissect the tension between historical reality and philosophical idealism.
