「一身独立して一国独立す。」福沢諭吉の名言としてしられる『学問のすゝめ』の一文です。「独立自尊」のひとをつくる。「人類」に至大の幸福を得させる。そのために教育はあるのである。——新聞を創り、大学を創り･･啓蒙と教育に生涯を捧げた福沢諭吉の肉声を、ここで聞いてください。

一九七〇年代、抜群のリーダシップのもとで戦後復興、高度経済成長に向けて多くの政策を推進させた田中角栄。三十三本もの議員立法（自らで法律をつくる）の成立、国民の度肝を抜いた構想「日本列島改造計画」、命懸けで斬りこんだ「日中国交回復」など戦後歴代首相のなかでは最も多くの仕事に立ち向かったと言っていい。その田中角栄が、演説やスピーチが抜群に上手かったことでも有名だ。社会での「実学」で得た人間洞察力、「情と利」による人心収らん術に加えあのユーモアと毒たっぷりの「角栄節」に、日本中が熱狂した。本書は昭和四十四年十二月の自民党幹事長時代から亡くなるまでの二十四年間のなかから厳選した、６６の演説をピックアップ。あの石原慎太郎氏も舌をまく伝説の演説集！

福沢諭吉の説くあるべき日本男子は「メシ」「フロ」「ネル」ではありえない。『一国の社会を維持して繁栄幸福を求めんとするには、その社会の公衆に公徳なかるべからず。その公徳をして堅固ならしめんとするには、根本を私徳の発育に取らざるべからず。』この視点に依って説かれる「男子論」なのである。襟を正して聞くべし。

昨今、ブラック企業の問題が取り上げられるようになりましたが、その一方で大企業であれば安心、というほど話は単純ではないように感じます。多くの人が会社組織に所属する現代において、私たちはどのような会社、あるいは組織を選ぶべきでしょうか。 「会社」というもののあり方はもうこの50年ですっかり様変わりしてしまいました。１９６０年頃のサラリーマン映画（森繁久彌の『社長漫遊記』シリーズとかクレージーキャッツの『無責任』シリーズとか）の登場人物たちが「会社」というときのニュアンスはもう現代のサラリーマンにはほとんど共感不能でしょう。（本文より） 内田樹＆平川克美「大人の条件」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

　「移民は受け入れたくないが、安い労働力は欲しい」という日本。自国にとって都合のいい方法で、安価な労働力を手に入れてきた。それが「外国人技能実習生」だ。 　「開発途上国への技能移転」を名目に始まったこの制度、実際は時給６５０～７００円程度の法定最低賃金で単純労働をさせているのがほとんどだ。 　単純労働での外国人受け入れを国策として認めてこなかった日本で、技能実習制度はその受け皿となってきた。制度のひずみに目をつぶったまま、拡大に向けた議論が進む。 　本誌は『週刊東洋経済』2014年8月2日号第2特集の10ページ分を抜粋して電子化したものです。

Are there other dimensions beyond our own? Is time travel possible? Can we change the past? Are there gateways to parallel universes?
