In this lecture, Akiko Ikeda's “Philosophical Texts to Consider the Age of 14” is carefully read, and the foundation of philosophical thought and ideological writing power is arranged.
Also, in this course, we aim to "recognize" a meaning and thought hidden behind in the depths of the philosophical expression for each, to convey it to other people and to acquire the ability to study universality together.
