Dialogue begins when we encounter different ways of thinking and different words
The long-awaited book version of the Asahi Shimbun’s “Forum Commentary”!
In today’s world of deepening mutual distrust, how should we engage with differing viewpoints?
The war in Ukraine, the Trump phenomenon, the Noto Peninsula earthquake, slush fund scandals, the rise of generative AI… Drawing on two years of reflections from the “Asahi Shimbun Forum Commentary,” which has thoroughly examined this turbulent era, this book reexamines a world where division has become the norm from a multifaceted perspective.
Part Two features dialogues with Maiko Kajiwara, Kaho Miyake, and Seiko Mimaki. They seek a common language beyond the “right” and “left,” unearth an imagination that transcends “circles,” and reexamine what is demanded of Japan in a multipolar world.
Now, when the very foundations of democracy are shaking, this book offers the possibility of dialogue.
