The results of the project are: the German philosophy and culture played a supporting role for Japanese young intellectuals to revolt against the morality without independence, and to reform the vulgarizing culture; the published outcome of the reception in the magazine Taiyo helped the general public well informed; the development of comparative and objective cultural studies of Japan enabled to establish a paradigm to deepen the recognition about Japan (=self, and to form the spirit of the time ; the reception of Lebensphilosophie and it criticism reflect the spirit of the time when the intellectuals questioned the base of Japanese existence (Japan=self) during the Meiji period ; the introduction of Rudolf Eucken's New-Idealismus put forward the idea to establish a modern civilization, overcome of Naturalism, and the spiritual life.
