◇ Why TAKEDA now ?

Seiji Takeda looks at the entire philosophical world from the East to the West and extracts its essence with great precision. It's as if he's looking down on philosophy from a drone. Here is a perspective that modern philosophers who are immersed in Europe cannot have.
Seiji Takeda is sincerely working to grasp the essence of modern philosophy and use it to help all people. Takeda's philosophy is to "support people's existence." Philosophers like this are rare.(Site administor)

◇Why is it necessary to revive philosophy now ?

Philosophy gives a clear vision for the future of the world.Without this, people fall into anemia of meaning. On the other hand, those in power try to go back and return to the good old days. The cause for both is the same: they don't have a vision for tomorrow.(Seiji Takeda)
