Autumn and Reading
Long time no see.
The last note was about month before.
Between then and now, it has become very cold so that I have to wear a jacket.
The autumn has come....
The autumn is said to be the season for reading, in Japan.
That is because this season is so comfortable.
I plan to read many books.
So many books is lined up in my shelves, which I have not read, that I must read them as early as possible. I already want to buy and read other books.
Now, I am reading Watsuji Tetsuro's "人間の学としての倫理学".
This title may mean in English that "Ethics as the study of Ningen."
"人間(Ningen)" has the special meaning.
It means not only a (or every) person, but also a society as a whole.
This word is the key one for Watsuji's ethics.
