This article attempts at highlighting some of the key concepts that need to be taken into account for combating the faddishness or fuzziness that has kept haunting our nation of “Kyosei Science”. It first dwells on the implications of the contemporary “science-philosophical” thoughts put forward by Husserl, T. Kuhn, and J. Habermas, and the pragmatist metaphor of “Neuration Ship“. The pluri-disciplinary membership to the Neuration Ship crossing toward the horizon of Kyosei Science, voluntary as it stands, willingly shares a common preoccupation with praxeologically-oriented studies, research and allied lifeworld activities. Inter-Disciplinary communicative acts that involve not only “three conditions for validity” is an era of “ reflexive modernization” of today. Discussions dwell, furthermore, on the fuzziness associated with the Japanese terminology of “Kyosei”. Among the various interesting alternatives for its English translation, particular attention is paid to Daisetsu Suzuki's notion of co-evolution of geosphere, biosphere and noosphere towards an Omega Point. Finally, Habermasian ethics of discourse (Diskur) is shown to corroborate the inevitability and impossibility theorem about “Kyosei” put forward by a trio of Japanese social theorists, S. Miyadai, H. Suzuki and S. Horiuchi.
