书籍简介
Yukio Mishima's Bold Dissent on Life, Society, and Literature, with Profound Insights
Moral education? What the hell is that?
A psychologically healthy person is, in essence, an immoral person!
99/100 morality plus 1/100 immorality is a dangerous psychological state.
Minimizing one's good nature is the only way to avoid temptation!
"Humans should learn from cats. For there is no animal more aloof, more ruthless, more willful, and absolutely unwilling to be manipulated by humans! It is probably the most difficult animal to hypnotize successfully. Therefore, I also want to emulate cats, to make myself as aloof, heartless, numb, and independent as possible... And only when I want to eat fish, will I meow sweetly."
—Yukio Mishima
《Immoral Education Lectures》is a representative collection of Yukio Mishima's essays, serialized in "Myojo Weekly" in 1958 and published as a standalone book the following year. It is considered one of Mishima's three major works on civilization, alongside "On the Defense of Culture" and "An Introduction to Actionology."
Yukio Mishima was adept at ironic criticism of the mundane world. In this book, he uses his skilled psychological analysis and keen insight to explore the true nature of humanity, delving into it in a reverse manner, much like a brain-teaser, offering both revelation and amusement. This work fully demonstrates Mishima's wit, humor, and logical argumentation skills, which were not as fully displayed in his novels. Through this book, readers can glimpse another, unhidden side of Mishima. His unique writing style exhibits a spirit of critical thinking and bold dissension, deeply insightful into life, society, and literature.
From "One Should Go to Bars with Strangers," "One Should Look Down on Teachers from the Bottom of One's Heart," "One Should Lie as Much as Possible," to "One Should Exploit a Beautiful Sister," a total of sixty-nine articles bear sensational titles that attempt to overturn morality and subvert traditional thinking. With a lighthearted, mocking, sarcastic, and playful tone, he naturally reverses common dogmas or virtues into titles that go against moral intuition; he also offers critical thinking on various popular social phenomena.
In the book, Mishima expounds on various forms of "evil," or things akin to "evil"; there are also many types of "villains," or people akin to "villains." This is much like the social section of a newspaper, where "concealing good and promoting evil" naturally attracts the public's attention. The troubling question is, why do evil things always appear so beautiful?
