Although oppositions and conflicts are increasing among peoples of different countries, ethnic cultures and languages, East Asia is the most critical region for living in harmony, pursuing coexistence and creating new knowledge in the 21st century. The book consists of three chapters; ‘Translation of modernity’, “Transculturation in East Asia” and “Transformation of knowledge”. This book reconsiders the cultural implications and knowledge value of the East Asian modern age through the knowledge discourses of the 21st century, to materializes concretely East Asian modernity which traversed the 20th century and is heading towards the 21st century. It is attempted to promote the creation of new historic relationships, academic exchange, and knowledge discourses of the 21st century from the traditional historic relationships and knowledge discourses based on the fundamental question of ‘What is East Asian knowledge?’
