| Research Abstract |
The results of the research are as follows :
1.The impact of new cosmology created by the developments of modern astronomy, a serious threat to Christian moral world, eventually became the catalyst between Christianity and modern view of nature.
2.As Thomas Reid's view of nature, moral philosophy and methodology indicate, the outsideness that logically corresponds to outer space consists a foundation for British empiricism.
3.As the theory of great universe of Yamagata Bantou shows, the same phenomenon can be observed in East Asia.
4.Cosmological humanism was one of the common notions in the 18^<th> century Enlightenment. It is important to investigate the role of it in Newtonianism as the catalyst of modern thought.
