"The Face of Words" by Kiyokazu Washida #KiyokazuWashida #Kiyokazu_Washida #Books #JapaneseLiterature/Novels/Stories An essay collection that freely interprets "words" that create an infinite world, from famous quotes by philosophers and writers from all over the world, such as Pascal and Ryu Murakami, to the latest buzzwords like "sokko" (immediately) and "kireru" (to snap). Content Description Words are always inconsistent. Always excessive, always insufficient. Words are exchanged while carrying such discrepancies. What if we consider words not as expressions or symbols, but as behavior and gestures? Then let's try to decipher the infinite world created by famous quotes from philosophers and writers from all over the world, such as Pascal, Descartes, Shuzo Kuki, and Ryu Murakami, as well as buzzwords like "sokko" and "kireru."

After serving as a professor at Kansai University, he is currently a professor at Osaka University. His specialty is philosophy. He has discussed the body, others, faces, norms, possession, mode, and the state from a phenomenological perspective, and has also conducted art and fashion criticism. In recent years, he has been working on a "clinical philosophy" project that connects philosophical thinking to various fields of society, such as care and education. In 1989, he received the Suntory Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities for "Dispersed Reason - The Perspective of Phenomenology" and "The Labyrinth of Mode," and in 2000, he received the Kuwabara Takeo Academic Award for "The Power of 'Listening' - A Trial of Clinical Philosophy."
