Story
私は、日本の大学や学問のあり方について、強迫観念にとりつかれたようにたっ た一つのことを言い続けている。 それは、国内の学問、特に文系の学問のあり方が、「輸入学問」になってしまっており、明治以来の、西洋の学問を自らの「お墨付き」の起源に使うというやり方が、もう限界に来ているということ。 自然科学者は、それでも、英語で論文を書くのが当たり前だから、それぞれの実力の範囲でがんばっている。それに対して、文系の学問は、日本語という言語に依存しているので、単純な比較はできない、という議論はわかる。 実際、日本文学の研究を、英語でやるのはナンセンスとまで言わなくても「遠い」だろう。また、日本の中の社会事象を扱う「社会学」においても、日本語を使うことが必要、ということはわかる。「いじめ」や「引きこもり」、「甘え」といった日本の社会の事象を、英語で表現したのでは、距離が遠ざかり、内容が薄まる。(本文より) 茂木健一郎の「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

Story
駅伝大会で、砂丘を走ることになった。本当は、事務局からきちんとした靴を持ってきてくださいといわれたのだけれども、熟慮の末、革靴で走ることにした。 というのも、そのあとすぐに、外国に行かなければならないという事情があったからだ。旅するときには、なるべく軽装がいい。運動靴を持っていくと、その始末に困るような気がした。革靴で走ってはいけないというのは、一つの偏見である。電車に遅れそうになって走ったことならば、何度でもある。革靴は、もともとは確かに走るために設計されたものではないが、その気になれば、なんとかなるような気がした。 そもそも、駅伝大会といっても、親睦のための企画。ボランティアで講座を開く講師たちが、地元の人たちと走るのである。だから、その性質において至って気楽なもので、私たち「講師」の担当する区間はわずか350メートルだと聞いた。「しかも下り坂だから、だいじょうぶですよ。」そうやって、事務局はお年寄りの講師も口説いたらしい。(本文より) 脳科学者茂木健一郎の原点ともいうべき書籍『生きて死ぬ私』の続編となるエッセイ「続・生きて死ぬ私」を連載したメルマガ茂木健一郎「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

Story
思想や哲学なんて余計なことだ、というような人がいるけれども、私はそんなことはないと思う。 このエッセイ集のいわばもととなった、私が30代半ばで書いた本『生きて死ぬ私』)(茂木健一郎、当時は徳間書店、現在はちくま文庫)の中に、 「哲学とファッションショー」というタイトルのエッセイがある。 一部引用する。 「哲学者が必死になって切り開いた知のフロンティアの恩恵を、何年か経って、普段は哲学など考えもしないような一般の人々も受ける。逆に、今日普通の人が何気なく考えていることの多くは、何年か前には哲学の最先端の問題であった。哲学者が、時には発狂の危険まで犯して(!?)獲得して来た「知」の最先端が、何年か経って、一般の人が「そんなの当り前でしょう」と欠伸をしながら言うような一般常識に変貌するのである。」(本文より) 脳科学者茂木健一郎の原点ともいうべき書籍『生きて死ぬ私』の続編となるエッセイ「続・生きて死ぬ私」を連載したメルマガ茂木健一郎「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

Story
ぼくは、大学院の博士課程の修了目前の二月くらいまで、就職が決まらなかった。それで、本当に困ったなあ、と思っていた。 研究室の先輩には、「茂木くん、研究生の手続きをしておいた方がいいよ」と言われた。「履歴書に穴が開く」ということを忌み嫌う日本社会の風土を初めて知ったのも、この頃である。 幸い、理化学研究所に新しくできたばかりの脳の研究グループに拾われた。トップは、伊藤正男先生だった。和光市の研究所を訪問して、伊藤先生とお話しして、5分くらい経った時に、「4月から来ていいよ」と言われた。なんだか、正直、ほっとした。4月から、和光市のキャンパスに通った。何から何まで、新鮮だった。自由な研究環境で、のびのびと思索することができた。その頃のことが、現在に至るまでの私の礎となってくれている。(本文より) 脳科学者茂木健一郎の原点ともいうべき書籍『生きて死ぬ私』の続編となるエッセイ「続・生きて死ぬ私」を連載したメルマガ茂木健一郎「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

Story
時代がざわざわとして、騒がしくなってくると、かえって、何でもないものの価値が見えてくる。 往々にして、威勢のいい言葉だとか、攻撃的な言動は底が浅い。そんなことと関係がなく、今流行の言葉ならば「お花畑」と言われようとも、自分なりの流儀で、平穏を貫くことの方が、どんなにか尊いことかと思う。 そして、時には、そのような真実を人は見落としてしまうものであるし、誤解やすれ違いは、人類の歴史の上で、何度も繰り返し起こっているのではないかと思う。だからこそ、時には、原点に立ち返って、「平穏」であることの価値を考える意味があるのではないか。 小津安二郎は、映画史に残る数々の傑作を撮った。とりわけ、主人公の名前が「紀子」なので、「紀子三部作」とも呼ばれる『晩春』、『麦秋』、そして『東京物語』は評価が高い。中でも、『東京物語』は、映画関係者が選ぶ映画史上のベストの投票において、繰り返し上位にランクされている。(本文より) 茂木健一郎の「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

Story
あれは、確か小学校低学年。おそらくは、一年か二年生の頃。社会科見学で、近郊の城址のようなところに行った。 季節は、夏が終わって秋が始まろうとしていた。ススキの穂が、そろそろ色づいて、揺れている。青空が広がり、私たちの心は、まだ人生のやっかいな重さを知らずにいた。 あの頃、遠足には、胸を焦がす爆発的な喜びがあった。何しろ、バスに乗ってみんなでどこかに行くということ自体が、人生でほとんど初めて。「一回性」という渦が、生を包んでいたのである。 お昼を食べたのは、手頃な広さの草むら。みんなで座って、おにぎりやウィンナーやらをわいわい騒ぎながら口にするのは、心から楽しかった。 早めに食べ終わったやつらが、そのあたりをふらふらし始めたのだと思う。その広場から少し道を下がったあたりから、大声で叫ぶのが聞こえた。 「クマの穴がある! クマの穴がある!」 なんだろう。私を含めて、何人かが立ち上がった。「クマの穴がある!」という声を聞いたときに、胸に立ったさざ波を、私は今でもはっきりと覚えている。。(本文より) 茂木健一郎の「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

自分という存在が、果たして他人に受け入れられるのかどうか。私たちの幸せは、多くが、その一点にかかっている。誰も、一人では生きてはいけないのだ。 もしも誰かに受け入れられたら、それは奇跡のようなこと。多くの場合、何とか大丈夫。誰かが受け入れてくれる。 だけど、どうしても、自信を持てない時間がある。自分という存在が、イヤで、こわくてたまらない。自分自身がどうしても受け入れられない。そんな、人生の季節があるのだ。 私もそんなことがあった。神経質な自分が情けなくて、どうにかしたくて、でもどうにもならない。そんな気持ちが、心の奥の中にしまわれてしまっていた。しまわれている分、やっかいだった。(本文より) 脳科学者茂木健一郎の原点ともいうべき書籍『生きて死ぬ私』の続編となるエッセイ「続・生きて死ぬ私」を連載したメルマガ茂木健一郎「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

この文章を、新千歳空港から小樽に向かう電車の中で書いている。 今はもう、11月下旬。寒いこともあり、また、昨日室蘭にジャケットを置いてきてしまったようでもあり、何とはなしに風邪気味になっているような気がする。 私は、よく風邪を引く。一冬に2、3回は引くのではないか。それでも、寝込んでしまったり、スケジュールに穴を開けてしまう、ということはない。この20年くらい、医者にも行っていない。よく風邪を引くわりには、至って健康で、活動的である。 子どもの頃は、そうでもなかった。よく風邪を引いて、寝込んでいた。学校を休むことも、しばしばあった。年間10日くらいは、休んでいたのではないか。 風邪の朝のことを思い出すと、不思議に甘美な気がする。朝、体温計で測る。37℃を超えていたりすると、「あっ、大変だ」と思うと同時に、どこかに「しめしめ」という気もある。「仕方がないわねえ。学校休みましょう」と母親が言うと、「そうかあ」となぜか落ち込んだような顔をする。内心では、うれしいのである。(本文より) 茂木健一郎の「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

モディリアーニの画集を初めて見たのは、確か小学校5年生くらいだったのではないかと思う。というのも、私は突然「絵を習いに行きたい!」と思い立って、親に頼んで通い始めたのだ。その教室に、確かそうだ、モディリアーニの画集があったのではないかと思う。 あの頃は、絵の個性なんてものはわかってはいなかったけれども、ひと目見て惹き付けられた。モディリアーニの特徴とも言える、面長の女性の肖像。その表情に、何とはなしに大人の成熟のようなものを感じて、密かにあこがれた。 モディリアーニは、才能に恵まれながら貧困の中で苦闘し、ボヘミアン的な生活を送るという、私たちが「芸術家」と耳にすると思い浮かべる一つの典型のもととなった。病気の中でのその悲劇的な死はセンセーショナルに報じられ、結果として作品が世に知られるきっかけになったという。。(本文より) 茂木健一郎の「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

生まれて初めて伊勢神宮の「内宮」の御垣内参拝をしたとき、私は四十も半ばを過ぎていた。伊勢神宮自体には、三十前半から何度も行っていたのだが、正式参拝に必要な服装を整えるということが、私にはなかなかハードルが高かったのである。 白い玉砂利を踏んで歩いていく中で、私は、生涯で最良の美しい緊張の中にいた。意識の流れの、一粒一粒が凛と張っていた。それまで経験したすべての現代美術は、今、ここに敗れつつあると感じた。それくらいのインパクトを、お伊勢さんの正式参拝は私にもたらしたのである。 思うに、どうも私はあの時に、神社に参拝するということの意味をはっきりと認識し、体感したらしい。(本文より) 茂木健一郎の「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

Story
講演会などで、ときどき冗談めかして言うのだが、実は本当のことがある。 自分で何でもしなくちゃダメですよ。細かい手作業こそが、脳のアンチエイジングにとっては大事。だから、炊事や掃除などの家事は、積極的にやったほうがいい。 中曽根康弘元首相にお目にかかってお話した時のこと。すでに九十を過ぎていらして、それでもお元気。論理も明晰で、記憶もしっかりしており、当時のどこか頼りない首相と交代したほうがいいのではないかとさえ思われるほどだった。 中曽根さんは、細かいことまでぜんぶ自分でやっていた。若さを保つ一つの秘訣だろう。例えば、中曽根さんに著書をお送りすると、自らお礼のハガキを書いているのだという。中曽根さんほどの偉い方になると、秘書がみんなやってくれそうなものだが、それを敢えて自分でなさる。素晴らしい事だと思った。(本文より) 脳科学者茂木健一郎の原点ともいうべき書籍『生きて死ぬ私』の続編となるエッセイ「続・生きて死ぬ私」を連載したメルマガ茂木健一郎「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

ぼくは、海で泳ぐのが、こわくて仕方がない。プールと違って、水がどこまでも続いている、あの状況が不安でたまらない。 小学校のときに水泳大会の練習をして、中学では水泳部だったから、泳げないわけではない。200メートル平泳ぎに出たけれども、とても苦しかったなあ。でも、もちろん完泳した。 その気になれば、ずいぶん遠くまで、長い間泳いでいられるはずだ。だけど、海で泳ぐのは、突き上げるような恐怖がある。それは、肉体的なものというよりは、心理的なものなのだろう。(本文より) 脳科学者茂木健一郎の原点ともいうべき書籍『生きて死ぬ私』の続編となるエッセイ「続・生きて死ぬ私」を連載したメルマガ茂木健一郎「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

このところ、いろいろあって、何とはなしに夏目漱石がなつかしくなり読んでいた。 漱石は、読みたくなった時が読むべきときである。きっと、人生を歩くということが砂漠のように感じられるときに、息継ぎをして水を飲むように、漱石のたましいに触れたくなるのだろう。 以前は、読みたくなるとすぐに近くの本屋さんに飛び込んで、文庫本を買っていた。だから、『三四郎』が5冊も6冊もあったりした。 最近は、「青空文庫」をスマートフォンで読むことができる。電車を待っているときや、トイレに入っているときに読み継いでいく。「心の交通事故」に遭ったときに、思わず手にとったのは『こころ』であった。(本文より)茂木健一郎の「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

Story
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job—she’s generally happy with her life, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to—but today is her twenty-eighth birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.
