4. This circle of analytic philosophers is namedPhilosophy of Science Society, Japan (J, Nihon Kagaku Tetsugaku Kai). HereTetsugaku means ‘philosophy,’ andKisoron (in 2.), ‘foundation.’ There exists a subtle difference betweenKagaku (science)Tetsugaku andKagaku Kisoron; the former is closer to philosophy, while the latter is closer to science. Thereforethe Japan Ass. Phil. Sci. (J, Nihon Kagaku Kisoron Gakukai) has many mathematician-scientist members besides its philosophers. In contrast with thatPhil. Sci. Soc. Japan is largely composed of professional philosophers of science. Of course, the executives of the former are also representatives of the latter.
