Description

Explore the complex relationship between evolutionary science and national identity in pre-1945 Japan. This scholarly work offers a reinterpretation of how biomedicine and shinkaron (evolutionism) shaped the country's direction. Focusing on the influential writings of Oka Asajiro (1868-1944), a German-educated research zoologist, the book examines his role as a leading popularizer of biomedicine. By analyzing essays published during and after the Russo-Japanese War (1904-5), the text tracks how Oka developed a modernist vision for national regeneration. This study provides a deep look into the intellectual history of the era, connecting biological science with the ideological shifts of a changing nation. It is an essential resource for readers interested in the history of medicine, Japanese history, and the social impact of scientific thought.
