Saigo No Bunjin Ishikawa Atsushi No Sekai (Shueisha Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] Today, as globalism and neoliberalism are conquering the world, people's freedom is rather being restricted, and a sense of stagnation and division is growing. Why Ishikawa Jun? The key word to decipher this solitary writer is "freedom. Ishikawa's "mental movement" through the world of books, both ancient and modern, was the embodiment of intellectual freedom. Therefore, even when many intellectuals were flirting with the wartime regime, Ishikawa remained silent. After his works were banned, Ishikawa headed for the world of Edo in search of freedom. Ishikawa's works are imbued with a spirit of disobedience against inconvenience. This book invites you to the world of his works and "absolute freedom" through the commentaries of five intellectuals.

グローバリズムと新自由主義が世界を制覇しつつある今日、人々の自由はむしろ制限されつつあり、閉塞感や分断が拡大している。今、なぜ石川淳なのか?この孤高の作家を読み解くキーワードは「自由」。古今東西の書物世界を軽快な「精神の運動」で往還した石川の姿勢は知的自由の体現であった。だから、多くの知識人が戦時体制になびいた時代にも、石川は黙らなかった。かくして作品の発禁後、石川は自由を求め江戸の世界に向かう。石川作品には不自由に抗する不服従の精神が刻まれている。本書は五名の識者の解説を通じ、その作品と「絶対自由」の世界に誘う。
