Death of Nishibe Susumu


On 21th of this month, Nishibe Susumu was found dead.  Apparently, he killed himself by drowning.

He influenced and inspired me indelibly when I was in my 20s to begin thinking about things a little complicated and abstract especially with his work, “The Revolt against the Masses,” which of course was his reply to “The Revolt of the Masses,” authored by Ortega Y Gasset (published in 1929).



I took a day off on December 31. Otherwise, it’s been only “work and me.” I think I’ve done a lot since last September. These long-terms projects will be over, and another period of worries will begin.



Shame on you, Lessie.
