Review of Chikara Sasaki's book, highlighting its relevance and significance, despite the limited impact of its translation into the Portuguese language. The exposition first emphasizes the diverse concepts and perceptions about the nature of science and technology - such as 'concrete science,' 'classical science,' 'modern science,' 'technological science,' and 'scientific technology.' In this regard, the ideological background of scientific and technological development policies is underscored. Additionally, the conception of 'non-Western science' and its models, such as Japanese mathematics (wasan) and traditional Chinese medicine, are analyzed, illustrating aspects of the history of science in Japan. Finally, the dilemmas of modern science at the end of the 20th century are discussed, with an emphasis on ecological, human, and social aspects.
