Japanese Studies in the Philosophy of Science


Overview

In this volume, 12 contemporary Japanese philosophers of science are presented using a generous sampling of their works as scientists and philosophers who have investigated the foundations of natural science, the philosophy of mind and especially of perception, the logic of inference and of time, causality, and evolution. The editor, Francis Gen-Ichiro Nagasaka, provides a historical survey of the development of philosophy of science in Japan from sparse beginnings rooted in German idealism before 1945, to a flourishing in the empirical Western tradition in the latter half of the 20th century. Contributors include Nobushige Sawada, Wataru Kuroda, Hidekichi Nakamura, Hyakudai Sakamoto, Shozo Ohmori, Natuhiko Yosida, Satoshi Watanabe, Akira Ohide, Hiroshi Kurosaki, M. Hutsuo Yanase, Shuntaro Ito, and Hiroshi Nagai.
