Philosophical Studies on Murakami?
摘要
We intend to justify studying Murakami and his works philosophically and challenge the belief that only philosophers or traditional philosophical objects qualify for philosophical studies. Philosophy, in its capacity as an ever-evolving field of science, is free to critically control the objectification of whatever happens to be dealt with in the field of Murakami Studies and to reassess and develop any of its methods and objects within the framework of this interdisciplinary field that provides room for philosophical inquiry. To suggest how Philosophy could become involved in Murakami Studies, we paid some attention to the Semiotics of Poinsot. Since Poinsot and Murakami were never before linked, this brings a new relationship to life and sets the stage for future breakthroughs.
