JACINTO ZAVALA, Agustín. The Idea of ''Japanese Science'' and the Late Philosophy of Nishida Kitaro. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2010, vol.31, n.123, pp.135-182. ISSN 2448-7554.
As a result of what Nishida characterized as the dawning of self-awareness among the Japanese people in the decade of the 1930s -that is, the perception that they constitute a historically differentiated unit- their cultural nationalism was exacerbated and emphasis was placed on the unique nature of Japanese culture. The idea that a 'Japanese science' existed at that time was part of this new orientation. This essay seeks to describe how the Japanese philosopher Nishida Kitarô (1870-1945) dealt with the idea of a Japanese science from the perspective of his philosophical thought. To do so, the author presents a brief discussion of the principal aspects of Nishida's critique of that notion, one that was exaggerated even by the standards of the first quarter of the 20th century. Finally, the essay provides us with a first approach to Nishida's conception of science.
