Japan has more than 1,000 organizations that are classified as academic societies. Higher education is much sought after in this country. These phenomena reflect social expectations from science in some from or other. The present paper discusses the role of academic societies in fulfilling such expectations. Science has its origin in the intellectual curiosity of Man. Results of researches are accumulated to form a science, which eventually provides a reliable system of knowledge by presenting convincing explanations phenomena. However, science consists essentially of logical consequences which describe only particular aspects of an entity; the "correctness" of science lies solely in this logic. It is this limitation that gives rise to an expectation of a new science. A task for an academic organization is thus search for a new framework of science.
