Hello!
This is a follow-up of the last mail. Please circulate
this as you
like.
Here I present an introduction to my book "Naushika
kaidoku (Reading
Nausicaa)" for english readers.
In chap.1, I locate manga "Nausicaa" in the
context of Japanese Manga
and Miyazaki`s Films.
In chap.2, I present four questions to read manga
"Nausicaa"
critically.
1. Why could Nausicaa come back from the depth of
desperation after she met Selm and found the Blue pure
land? She had already foreseen the existence of Blue pure
land. What is the difference between 'to find' and 'to
foresee'?
2. Why could Nausicaa find the truth of the Tomb and the
Blue pure land in the Garden of the Pastor? There seems
the illogical jump in Nausicaa's inference here.
3. Why did Nausicaa close the Tomb, although she knew
such decision might make the future of mankind shut down?
4. Why could Kushana do nothing before the collision
between her legion and people of Dolk, although she had
already learned the meaninglesness of warfare?
In chap.3, I try to solve the 1st question. Following the
tradition of
analytic philosophy and deconstructionism, I try to make
sense of the meaning of `to guard the world`, and present
the difference between `to foresee` or `to know simplly`
and `to find` or `to meet`.
In chap.4, I try to solve the 2nd question. I analyse the
dialogue
between Nausicaa and the Pastor, and make sense of the
real meaning of the Temptation.
In chap.5, I try to solve the 3rd question. Here I
present a
philosophical critic of utopianism, refering to Max
Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno`s critic of modernity,
Robert Nozick`s libertarian political philosopy, namely
its theory of meta-utopia, and Hannah Arendt`s philosophy
of politics and human activities. I conclude manga
"Nausicaa" makes very significant contribution
to utopian thoughts
and philosophical critic of utopianism. I make a new
coception of`meta-utopia`, in a slightly but
significantly different sense from Nozick`s one, through
the interpretaiton of manga "Nausicaa".
In chap.6, I try to solve the 4th question. Here I
discuss the
`politics (ethics) of memory (history)`, refering
Japanese philosopher Hitoshi Nagai(I think he is one who
think of solipcism most
seriously and definitly in the world!)`s argument
influenced by the archeology of Michel Foucault, and
Hannah Arendt`s debate on totalitarianism and the cocept
of `the holes of oblivion`.
In epilogue, I discuss the implication of manga
"Nausicaa" for the
probelem of `war and peace`, refering to Carl Schmidt`s
theory of law of nations and Thomas Hobbes` debate on
`the state of nature`. I try to criticize a sort of
nihilism about war and peace. Maybe we cannot get
`permanent peace`, but it doesn`t legitimize such
nihilism.
