[Abstract] It seems that the importance of study on the boundary areas between the different fields of sciences and cultures is increasing with the time. The basic conditions to stimulate and promote such a study can be summarized into the three characteristic features in the modern age, that is, (1) overlapping and mutual interactions of individual specialized fields in sciences and technologies, (2) finding of symbolic and analogical view for the objects obtained by microscale analysis in modern science methodology, and (3) reflection on the negative phenomena such as environmental and ethical problems caused by rapid developments of science and technology. This is the introduction to future work to clarify the characteristics of boundary areas and find effective metholosical ways for understanding and anticipating of those areas.
