A book that deepens the discussion on how humans should live. Objections to "How Do You Live?"! Let's discuss the "human molecular view" Manabu Murase #ManabuMurase #Entertainment/Hobbies #Books #Literature/Novels #BOOK This book raises questions about the classic masterpiece "How Do You Live?" by Genzaburo Yoshino, which is treated as a model for how to live, and points out fundamental problems such as the work's "human molecular view" and "hero worship." Main objections pointed out in this book: ・Biased view of humanity: It is pointed out that the "human molecular view" praised in the work leads to a view of humanity that does not respect each individual, excluding those who do not contribute to progress. ・Substitution of "poverty" and "disparity": It is argued that poverty and disparity are being substituted for the problems of "workers." ・The danger of hero worship: The chapter on "Napoleon worship" was removed in the manga version, but it was originally included in the work, and it is pointed out that a biased view of humanity carries the risk of leading to hero worship. ・Resolution by "force": It is stated that the resolution of the incident depicted by resorting to "force" cannot be considered a true solution. Mr. Manabu Murase's intention The author is concerned about the situation in which "How Do You Live?" is being uncritically read without knowing the social conditions of the time. Through this book, the aim is to make better use of the bestseller. Rather than simply criticizing the work, the author wants to encourage discussion about the problems it contains and provide readers with an opportunity to understand the work from multiple perspectives.
