Features: As a scholar, Professor Katō expresses his political stance to the world and engages in struggles against various ideas and actions in Japanese society that go against the current through his diligent and outstanding academic activities. The essays collected in this book vividly demonstrate this point. Although their themes differ, they share common elements, which include the author's unique understanding of politics, respect for human values, ideals of a free, democratic, and just society, and a yearning for a peaceful and friendly future world. All the essays included in this book, except the last one "Politics and Violence in the Modern World," were selected by the author, Professor Katō Setsuko, from his two collections of essays, "Politics and Man" and "Politics and the Intellectual."
