An Initial Investigation on the Rise and Development of Culture of Science in Modern Japan
Abstract：The rise of "Ancient School" has replaced Zhuxi's Theory in the Shogunate era, and the Culai Thought with empirical spirit has replaced the world view constructed by Zhuxi's Theory. All these laid the ideological foundation for Japanese to accept modern western science and culture as well as to estab- lish its own scientific and cultural characteristics of local features. Since the Meiji Restoration, Japanese began to accept advanced western modern culture of science and criticized the backward Chinese tradi- tional culture, which means the rise of modern culture of science in Japan. Throughout the hard work of modern scholars of Japan, social ontological consciousness of Japanese broke away from the pattern of east culture and began to accept Western ontological consciousness.
