Generally speaking, Japanese studies of modern logic and philosophy of science started at the end of World War II with American stimulation. Even now, we are mostly following the trends of research in the United States. There are, I regret, only few original or creative works in the fields of logic and philosophy of science in Japan. Recently, however, the number of researchers is increasing in these fields. And we already have two well-organized academic societies for these fields: the Philosophy of Science Society, Japan (of which I am now President) and the Japanese Association for Philosophy of Science. Younger researchers are very active and productive in these two societies. I believe the future of this field is promising.
