■ Title   Natural Science of Kaitokudo School: Nakai Riken's interest in Western Science

■ Outline   Kaitokudo school Confucianist Nakai Riken was interested in Natural science. This presentation introduced his materials on anatomy and astronomy. On his work "Essorouhitsu" which contains many anatomical charts, it is worthy to note that it was written before "Kaitaishinsho" which is generally considered to introduce modern western anatomy first in Japan, and that they could see the books of western anatomy then in Osaka. On astronomy, it is worthy to note that Riken had a viewpoint to see the earth from the space.   YUKI Yoshinobu   Single   Proceedings of the 8th Symposium of East Asian Academies   Chinese Classical Academy Society      2019/10
