著者がコペル君の精神的成長に託して語り伝えようとしたものは何か。それは、人生いかに生くべきかと問うとき、常にその問いが社会科学的認識とは何かという問題と切り離すことなく問われねばならぬ、というメッセージであった。著者の没後追悼の意をこめて書かれた「『君たちはどう生きるか』をめぐる回想」(丸山真男)を付載。

君たちはどう生きるか

Ana Robbinson

If it means anything at all to live in this world, it's that you must live your life like a true human being and and feel just what you feel.

To work from up there—no, even to be able to make the climb—you must not lose the spirit that woke you in the middle of the night, to follow your questions wherever they lead!

We have the power to decide on our own who we will be. Therefore, we will make mistakes.

We have the power to decide on our own who we will be. Therefore, we can also recover from mistakes.

You're correct. It's wrong for sure. We are all human beings, so if we can't all live a life that is really human, something is wrong, A society that doesn't allow that is wrong.

Still, for the sake of discovery, I think sometimes you have to live with being scolded by the teacher.

First, you might notice that the great people and heroes that loomed so large in your eyes until now were, ultimately, no more than drops of water drifting in that great stream.

And finally, there are times when one hero will do many things, some with the current and others against. In the course of history, many people arise and do many different things, but ultimately, if what they do is not consistent with the flow of that current, all the accomplishments off any one person will, finally and fleetingly, fall to ruin.

Bring back calling people old saws again!

If you think about it, there are sayings such as “Know thyself” and “Reflect upon your past” that we have heard over and over, ever since elementary school. They may feel a bit trite or old-fashioned, and when we hear them now, we may just think, Oh, that old saw again!

I can become a good person and create one good person for the world.
