今西錦司

京大の哲人今西錦司曰く帰納と演繹から真に創造的な発見は得難いと。二つに代わって類推の可能性を説く。ある分野で成立する理路を他の分野に当てはめるのが類推だ。その当てはめに理屈は不要だ。だからそれは一つの賭け。故に理屈を超えた可能性がある。僕が建築を類推的に語る理由はそこにある。
Kyoto University philosopher Kinji Imanishi said that it is difficult to make truly creative discoveries from induction and deduction. In place of the two, he argues for the possibility of analogy. Analogy is the application of logic that holds true in one field to another field. There is no need for logic to apply it. So it’s a gamble. Therefore, it may be beyond reason. This is why I talk about architecture analogically.、
