Scienza e arte secondo Nishi

Si evidenzia la dicotomia tra scienza (gaku) e arte (jutsu). Secondo Nishi, riecheggia la distinzione tra la «sostanza» o la «struttura» (t’i) e la «funzione» (yung), formulata nel taoismo e ripresa nel confucianesimo. Nishi considera interdipendenti il sapere scientifico e la creazione estetica: l’arte rappresenta il campo di applicazione della scienza, l’ambito ideale per esaltarne le categorie. È un positivismo strano: lo scienziato fa valere le sue cognizioni nella sfera artistica! Ciò dimostra in quale misura i filosofi giapponesi, ancorché positivisti, si richiamassero alla tradizione.
