Columbus, too, reached America quite accidentally.
He^ was only trying to find the shortest way to the
Orient. The fact of the matter was that even until
he died he had believed that the place he had reached
was not an entirely new continent but a part of In­
dia. That’s why we call American natives “Indians.”
X on might say, “But natives had been uncivilized.
And only after they were found by already civilized
Europeans, they were brought into the light of world’s
history. Until then, America had no relevant link with
any other civilization.”
O.K., granted that there were. That is, in no way.
an applicable method to discuss the discoveries of such
places as Egypt, China, Persia, Korea, or Japan be­
cause, in those lands, thousands of years before any
Europeans with the exception of perhaps Greeks, even

began to have the slightest touch of what- we call civil­
ization, those non-Europeans had a flourishing civilizarion. They had already invented adrinced astro­
nomy, geometry, trigonometry, algebra, calculus and
integration, almost modern navigation with compass,
gun powder, applied physics used for enormous con­
struction, which are still being used widely by today’s
science and technology.
So it sounds very inadequate to hear such a discus­
sion on “The discovery of Japan — or China or Korea”
in terms of the first European who set. foot on it. It
is almost as comical as a little boy trying to teach
his father about ‘the birds and the bees as though
it was his own invention.
If the,.word “discovery" is. defined as “being .the
fii'st to find out” as Webster's Dictionary .suggests,
