Edition Details: [Translated title.] In Japanese.
Language: Japanese
The role of interchange between physicists and philosolphers in advancing Japanese physics of the late Meiji and Taisho Era is explored. Their cooperation brought forth their common objective and motivation of activities: "modernization" of Japan. Topics treated are the brotherhood relationship between physicist Ayao Kuwaki and philosolpher Gennyoku Kuwaki, the controversy between Ayao Kuwaki and philosopher Hajime Tanabe, the colleague relationship between physicist Jun Ishiwara and Tanabe, and the influence of these people upon philosopher Kitara Nishida, who proposed inviting Einstein to Japan and asked him the famous Kyoto address "How I Created the Theory of Relativity". Also are pointed out the role played by the above philosophers in bringing forth the Taisho-democracy movement, which made Einstein's visit possible, and the relationship between the theory of relativity and ideology of democracy.
