 Another later scholar critical of Ogyū's teachings was Nakai Chikuzan, who was also familiar with Goi's opposition to Ogyū Sorai.Goi wrote his opposition to Sorai in his essay "Hi-Butsu hen", which was written in the 1730s, but not published until 1766 having been edited by Chikuzan and his brother.Nakai later wrote his own, highly emotional, rebuttal to Ogyū's beliefs in his work "Hi-Chō" (1785), wherein he rejected the idea that individuals could not better themselves through moral choices.
