Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Natural science in East Asia formed a unique field of study called the study of shushu, which consisted of various fields of natural science and divinations derived from the Yijing. As the study of shushu is a field peculiar to East Asia and forms the essence of the scientific culture of East Asia, it seems indispensable to grasp its structure and historical development.In order to create a comprehensive framework for examining the scientific thought in China, I tried to analyse the complex area of the study of shushu. Since ancient times, the Chinese have had a highly developed natural philosophy which grasps the laws of the relation between natural phenomena and all living things on earth, and tries to find out what society should be and how human beings should live on the analogy of it. I grasped their mathematical-philosophical theories structurally, and revealed the basis of scientific thought.
