*The Lost of Begriff (Concept) [031002-04]
The most important thing to research something is to find something new Begriff (concept) in the objects. It is easy, for people who are familiar with complex causal relations, to make up some reasons to express some results. They will be able to find plausible relations among objects quoting some books and actual examples. Their results will be decided not by their intellectual sense, but only by their physical power. The amount of knowledge will decide their evaluation. However, it is useless to predict our fortune.
For modern people, only concrete facts can testify whether truth or not. But, individual facts are alienated from context, in other words, from environment. They do not consider a meaning of each fact depended on surrounding situation, and believe that a fact and its meaning corresponds one to one. The world is regarded simply as an assembled of innumerable facts, but it becomes limitlessly complex as a while. Also lots of theories conflict each other without criterion whether true or not. Only dexterous operations can decide whether is true or not.
If we do not consider its surroundings, a fact is impotent. It may be
possible to deduce something by connecting some facts. However, it is impossible
to decide whether it is necessary or only accidental. Only Begriffs (concepts)
can decide whether a theory is true or not. To gain some Begriffs, it is
necessary to have the ability to insight something, by which we can get
the idea of objects as a while. Also, this ability cannot be obtained without
actual experiences concerning objects. We need to live with objects with
reading books about them.
*Positivists, who only see what they want. [031016-17]
I agree that modern times are human age, because God allows us only to see what we want to see. Depending on the principle of positivism, we have been able to avoid referring on something unknown. Modern people forget the fact that there can be something beyond what we can see on the basis of positivism.
Their weakness causes the problem of environment. Positivism only can
clarify outer objects according to individual causalities. However, the
idea of environment contains something beyond visible for us. It is possible
from the point of positivism to analyze our environment, but impossible
it to take apart and reconstruct depending on causality. Here, we must
give up clarifying the object, and look for some other ways to recognize
it as a while. Positivist may claim them as unclear, but it is only an
excuse to escape from actual world. What is important for us is to find
effective way to solve our actual problems behind what we can see.
Aphorism
[031008]
Modern people adhere to individual beings too much, but do not
pay attention to universality. They ask who or what nationality he/she
has, when someone causes trebles in our country. But the problem is why
it occurred.
[031013]
The most important ideal in 21 century is independency that is
guaranteed by autonomous economic system. Nobody has the right to invade
others’ field for his/her economic profit.
[031015]
I recognize again how important personal relationship. Gesellschaft
can collect enormous money, but does not find how to use it correctly.
Gesellschaftlich projects should fail at last one mile.
[031018]
Observing the situation of other Asian countries, they seem tracing
the way that Japan once went through in their own manner. What I worry
above all is their lost of traditional sense to sustain themselves.
