problems

 The author says that if you read a book, you can become a google map yourself. We will publish "Introduction" of "Reading Techniques that Change You in the Future" that introduces the meaning and how to read books for that purpose.

"Reading makes us a Google map"


At university, I often talk about such things to students.

Especially when you are young, you don't really know who you are, who you can be, or how you want to live. So to speak, it's like getting lost in a group of skyscrapers and going over and over again.

Of course, traveling without a map is fun and even a privilege when you were young.

However, if that continues for a long time, we will be short of breath someday.

At that time, I think I was fooled, and I want you to gain a lot of reading experience anyway. Yes, I'm telling college students. Then, at one point, I suddenly became a Google map, looking down at the skyscrapers from directly above, and seeing the whole picture of the intricate maze. And it seems interesting how to take which road to reach the point you want. It should be as if it were a Google map, looking down on the earth from an artificial satellite.

Or I also say this.

Even with the same X-ray, the appearance of the world will change if you gain a lot of reading experience, just as the X-ray that we see is completely different from the one that doctors see.

That's what it means to "get educated".

In Japanese, "education" is not very useful in real life, but if you know it, you may have an image of a lot of cool knowledge.

However, in the world of philosophy-the study of deeply thinking and insight into the "essence" of things-in many cases, this word means more "wisdom and knowledge to live freely". The German word Bildung is commonly translated as "education", which means that it gives us more freedom and brings about spiritual and personal growth. I am. Moreover, it also means that this society will be freer and happier.

In this book, I would like to talk about what it means to change the way the world looks by reading, and how to become a Google map. I usually talk to college students, but if you pick up this book, whether you're a junior high school student or a high school student (maybe an elementary school student), you're sure to be interested. I think you will read it. And it must be very useful.


"Teacher, recently I've become a Google map!"

There are several university students a year who say such things.

I am very much looking forward to the appearance of young people who will say such things from the readers.

"Tax increase" called cost-push inflation

 According to the principle of GDP three-sided equivalence (production = expenditure = income), when the production (* value-added production) price rises, the income also increases.   The problem is that if the goods and services we spend are imported from abroad, the "domestic income" will not increase. In fact, imports are a deduction for GDP (Gross Domestic Product). Imports increase the income of foreign producers. This means that even if the domestic inflation rate rises due to the influence of import prices, the "income of domestic producers" will not be affected. Of course, in ordinary countries, the income of domestic producers is also rising, so there is no problem even if import prices rise a little.   On the other hand, in Japan, instead of increasing income, it is "decreasing", and cost-push inflation, in which only "income of foreign producers" rises, has begun. According to the principle of GDP three-sided equivalence (production =

Conflict over "facts"

 Last time, I talked about the difference between philosophy and science. In a word, philosophy explores the essence of the human "world of meaning". One science reveals the mechanism of the "world of facts". Contrary to what many believe, the "world of meaning" actually precedes the "world of facts". There is an objective "world of facts", and humans do not attach "meaning" to it. On the contrary, the "world of facts" can exist for us only when we are caught in the antenna of our "world of meaning". In that sense, philosophy supports science from its roots. Unless we understand the essence of the "world of meaning," we cannot know the "world of facts" in depth. Conflict over "facts" However, science usually does not have to think about such troublesome things. For the time being, all of us recognize (believe) that things will fall if we let go, or that the earth is orbiting th

How do you live now?

 Philosophical words are like vaccinations. Occasionally, I think about that. I feel that it is not a clever word that penetrates the body like a bullet, but a word that gradually spreads throughout the body without knowing it. "Philosophy life counseling" is not such a bad thing, but I think it would be nice if I could spun such a word like a vaccine below. It may not always have immediate effect. But in the long run, I'm sure that your immunity will be improved, and I hope that you will have such a life consultation. This time, the first time, we will answer four consultations. 1. 1. What on earth am I living now !? @Masaki Why do we live when we die anyway? @ Milk green juice The 19th century German philosopher Nietzsche said this (a little erratic). There is no ready-made correct answer in the meaning of living. Create it yourself!  When. The meaning of life is not something that is "preliminarily" rolling somewhere in the sky beyond the mountains, in the ho
