Gendai Bummei Ron Kogi Nihilism Wo Meguru Kyodai Sei to No Taiwa (Chiku Ma Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] Why can't we kill people?" "Why doesn't democracy work?" - We ask and discuss with Kyoto University students about the various difficult questions facing society today. The unexpectedly honest opinions of these young students reveal the confusion of postwar Japan and even contemporary civilization. How should we think about problems that cannot be solved by the old ideologies - postwar democracy, utilitarianism, liberalism, and libertarianism? This lecture looks at the disease of nihilism, which lies at the depths of aporia, and reconsiders the possibilities of Japanese thought to overcome it.

「なぜ人を殺してはいけないのか」「なぜ民主主義はうまくいかないのか」-現代の社会の抱えるさまざまな難問について、京大生に問いかけ、語り合う。若い学生たちの意外な本音から、戦後日本、さらには現代文明の混迷が浮かび上がってくる。旧来の思想-戦後民主主義や功利主義、リベラリズム、リバタリアニズムでは解決しきれない問題をいかに考えるべきか。アポリアの深層にあるニヒリズムという病を見据え、それを乗り越えるべく、日本思想のもつ可能性を再考する。
