traduction | À la solitude dans le Propos sur la vie de Kiyoshi Miki

« Le silence eternel des ces espaces infinis m’effraie. » – Blaise Pascal

On sent la solitude est peur, ne pas par la solitude elle-même, par la condition de solitude plutôt. C’est même, comme le mort est peur, ne pas par le mort il-même, par la condition de mort plutôt. Mais, y a-t-il la solitude même sauf la condition de solitude ? Mais, y a-t-il le mort même sauf la condition de mort ? Une chose on ne peut pas prendre une substance sauf une condition,,, je pense, le mort et la solitude, elles sont la chose comme ça. Ainsi que, nous pouvons dire une chose n’a pas de la substance qui est n’a pas la existence, ou nous devons dire.


La philosophie ancienne ne pouvait pas penser la substance dans une place il y a pas de existence. C’est pourquoi, là, le mort et la solitude signifient seulement le manque (stasis) comme elle pensait l’obscurité est manque de la lumière. Donc les gens modernes pensent par les conditions. Le science moderne indique le pensée par les conditions. Ainsi le science moderne ne élucidait pas le faux de la peur du mort et de la solitude, plutôt indique cette nature substantielle.


La solitude n’est pas vivre seul. Vivre seul est une condition de la solitude seulement, et une condition extérieure. Plutôt, en plus, gens vivent seuls pour échapper à la solitude. Dans la plupart de cas, l’ermite est le gens comme ça.


La solitude, il n’y a rien de montagne, il y a de la ville. Il n’y a rien dans un homme, il y a entre bien des gens. La solitude est une chose comme l’espace, qui existe dans « entre » les gens. « Le peur de vide » n’est pas materiel, est une chose humaine.


La chose n’est pas on s’enfermer dans l’intérieur. Quand on senti la solitude, à l’essai, vous étendrez votre mains, et les regardez fixement. Le sentiment de solitude commence à approcher.

Les Occidentaux sortent à une ville pour sentir la solitude. Cependant, les Orientaux entrent à la nature. Pour eux, la nature est une chose comme la société. Les Orientaux n’avons rien de conscience sociale, parce que ils ne peuvent pas penser que l’homme et la nature sont opposées.


Le monde des Orientaux est le monde de pénombre. Tandis que le monde des Occidentaux est le monde de jour et le monde de nuit. La place il n’y a pas est la opposition entre le jour et la nuit, est la pénombre. Solitude de la pénombre est différent de elle de jour et elle de nuit.


À la solitude, il y a la tentation esthétique. La solitude a une saveur. Quiconque aime la solitude à cause de cette saveur. Jaunes filles même sait la tentation esthétique de solitude. Il est question de arriver un haut point du sens éthique de la solitude.

Même Kierkegaard, on peut dire sa vivre était une poursuivre du sens éthique de la solitude, perdait souvent par cette tentation esthétique.


Un avis quotidien comme le sentiment est subjectif et l’intelligence est objectif, est faute. Plutôt l’inverse est plus proche de le vérité. Dans la plupart du cas, le sentiment est une chose objective et socialisée et l’intelligence est une chose subjective et personnelle. Le sentiment subjectif vraiment est intelligent. Il faut la solitude n’appartient pas à le sentiment mais l’intelligence.


L’avis philosophique n’est jamais pernicieux qui assimile la vérité à l’objectivité ou l’inhumanité. Cet avis ne comprend ni aspect intérieur de la vérité ni cet aspect expressif.


N’import quel objet fait franchir la solitude à moi. À la solitude je franchis le monde des objets entièrement.

Quand nous sommes solitaires, nous ne avons pas étions anéantie par choses. Quand nous ne connaissons pas la solitude, nous sommes anéantie par choses.


Dans la solitude, choses comme choses expressives s’approchent de nous. Et nous pouvons franchir la solitude, sur nous ne sommes jamais sauf à l’activité expressive de soi qui répondre à l’appel par des choses. Augustin d’Hippone a dit, plantes veulent être regardées par l’homme, et ce regard est un salut, ainsi l’expression est un secours aux choses, et un secours à soi-même par secourir aux choses. Ainsi que la solitude s’enracine de amour le plus profond. Là, il y a la existence de solitude.

Book Review | Abandoning a Cat, When I Talk About My Father by Haruki Murakami, Bungeishunju, 2020

Abandoning a Cat, When I Talk About My Father is an essay by Haruki Murakami, about his family history especially his father. And it’s not only and usual essay, but also has a story and is like a novelette take up his family history and his fundamental experiments. His father, Chiaki Murakami (1917 – 2008) was the second son of a buddhist temple family, was a junior high and high school teacher of Japanese (literature). Main account of this essay is his life and the experience in the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Why does Murakami think he should write about his father ? He may think his being and a part of origine of Murakami’s personality are made and shaped by his father directly or indirectly. Murakami’s father was a good, earnest and dedicated Japanese teacher, a book lover owns many books and his hobby was Haiku. And he gave up become a scholar, so he had and exception to fulfil his hope for the only son, but Murakami feel repulsion to his hope and the Japanese educational system of uniformity. Such elements of his father made and shaped the personality of Murakami includes antipathies and reactions.

Also, Murakami can be existed by the War. Unfortunately his father was conscripted by mistake into the army when the Second Sino-Japanese War, but fortunately somehow he wasn’t conscripted by the Pacific War. His mother’s fiancé (a music teacher) was died by the war, her parents’ home in Osaka was burnt by bombing raid. So his father and mother met and married, had birth to Murakami. That’s why life includes and is shaped by accidents. People are being lived by accidents, also accidents make inevitabilities, necessities and facts. Murakami states a precept below by the episode of a cat climbed up the upper part of a pine tree.

A result gulps a cause easily, and makes impotent. (p. 94)

So I think, a theme of this essay is concerning about accident and necessity on life.

And cats on this essay are gods or god-like beings of accident and fate, bring necessity and life. The first episode of a big female tubby cat is a metaphor of his father’s mysterious and incomprehensible discharge from the army. The second episode of a cute small white kitten is a metaphor of the Resurrection of the Christ. The cat vanished on the upper part of the pine tree, went to heaven. It’s an accident or a miracle brought a necessity or a story to Murakami, and became a fragment of him.

On the other side, another theme of this essay is story and history. Murakami’s personality and works may be affected by his experiences, environment, family and age. Two episodes about cats are consists of parts of Murakami. A talk by his father about he watched a killing of a Chinese prisoner or killed a prisoner, affected Murakami and he take over as a trauma even so it’s an indirect experience. His father was adopted into a buddhist temple in Nara temporary, might affect to Murakami as an unconscious experience. Personal episodes of a man shapes his personality and story. And Murakami thinks each of stories of men made the grand story of the world and the history. He wrote in the afterword.

History is not a thing belongs to the past. It’s a thing runs as living warm blood inside a consciousness and an unconsciousness, carries over to the next generation by force. In a sense, this essay is a personal story, in the same time, it’s a part of the grand story shapes the whole world we live. It’s a very small size of part, even so it can be trusted it’s a one fragment as a fact. (pp. 99 – 100)

People are to be existed by accidents, to be lived by facts, to be affected by the history. But we live in a society as a person, and need to think, to interpret, to decide and to act. The things connect between accidents and necessities, stories and the history are thinking, consciousness and will. I think this essay told the importance of each one of ways of living, wills and consciousnesses of the people on an age, made stories the history.
