Abstract

Counting active members in the field of history of science in Japan, we are immediately struck by two peaks that stand out in the age-groupings, namely, a generation born in the early 1900’s which started their professional careers in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s (hereafter called the prewar group), and the other a group born in the late 1920’s which entered the field after World War II (referred to below as the postwar group).
