Thank you for viewing. "Why Live?" Supervised by: Kentetsu Takamori Authors: Daiji Akehashi, Kentaro Ito 10,000-Do Publishing Released: April 20, 2001 Total 366 pages Size: 19.5 x 13.6 x 3.2 cm Overview: What is the meaning of this daily repetition? In the midst of a busy life, don't you sometimes wonder, "What am I working so hard for?" What is happiness? What is life? A unique combination of a psychiatrist and a philosopher answers questions that everyone asks at least once. In the first part, the book explores the problems we face, such as organ transplants, life-extending treatment, suicide, and children who lose their temper, as well as delving into the philosophies of life of literary figures and thinkers. It also explores the reason for living, quoting words from Hikaru Utada, B'z, and others. In the second part, the author, who has been working on Shinran studies, focuses on Shinran's answer to "why live," and through reading "Kyogyoshinsho" and "Tannisho," reveals the unchanging "purpose of life" throughout the ages.
