Value Systems and Organization of Scholarship and Research in East and West

In: Asia-Pacific Transitions

Abstract

East Asia is in transition. Along with the economies, the value systems and institutions are changing towards those of the West. To scholars with scientific contacts in East Asia, this change has been quite apparent. One can only marvel at the incredible speed with which it has been accomplished. It is increasingly harder to make a distinction between the value systems and institutions in East and West. All in all, this is no cause for regret. But a look backward may be rewarding, not just to historians — and historians of science — but for a broader perspective of the possible approaches to learning, the drive for innovation and the possession of knowledge that are revealed thereby.
