kc1027 @kc1027Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) was the German philosopher who completed German idealism.
He devolved a method of elaborating the teleological development of history, which was a basic tool of materialism, socialism and communism.
The 'Absolute Spirit', the fundamental existence to drive all historical events, was central to his thinking.
His method is based on reasoning and argumentation that examine and integrate opposing concepts to find the truth, -
which is known as 'dialectic'. He applied his method to ethical life and human consciousness as well as history.
His metaphysics is characterized by the comprehensive and encyclopedic system, -
which is divided into the science of logic, the philosophy of Nature, and the philosophy of Spirit.
Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) was a Danish philosopher who was the founder of existentialism, opposed to idealism.
He began his philosophical thinking by denying the abstract reasoning of Hegel.
'Subjectivity', which is the essence of the individual human being, was central to his thinking.
Kierkegaard stressed the importance of the life experiences including life and death, and angst, -
although he suffered from despair which leads the spirit to death. His doctrine emphasized the freedom of human beings to make choices-
based on the belief that only human beings have absolute value and ability to make choices.
He argued that these qualities distinguish human beings from other animals.
マイク・リー監督『ネイキッド』復刻DVDを鑑賞。世紀末映画の大傑作は20年の時を経て黙示録的内容に益々現代味を帯びている。演者が発する緊張感は半端なく、演じる方もきっと命懸けに違いなく、のちに若くして亡くなったカトリン・カートリッジはきっとこの映画で寿命を縮めたはず。
言葉で悪態の限りを尽くし、映像で退廃の限りを表現し続けるこの映画は、善悪を超えたところの人間存在の素をあぶり出し、見る者にも己の素を迫る。疲れる。自分の現実の方がマシだと思えたら、それが癒しにまでなる。
大阪都構想が否決されて、本田が得点できなかったからなんとなく気分が落ち込んで月曜日へ。月曜日らしいな。
平均的な70代が将来の日本とか都市とかを考えることなんてまずないでしょう。それよりただただ楽して自分が長生きするのを考えるのが人間だと思います。その生命力を否定するのはなかなか難しい問題です。
住民投票というのは最も地元に張り付いている人間の意志が反映されるものなんですね。当たり前といえば当たり前の現実を前にして、積極的鎖国主義こそ今後の方針にふさわしい気がします。何が積極的なのかは、体力次第ですが。
