11 FREEDOM OF WEARING WHAT WE WANT AND FREEDOM OF NOT HAVING TO CHOOSE WHAT WE WEAR

A few years ago, at a Vancouver highschool I used to work at, I was talking with a student from Japan about uniforms. I asked him if he missed wearing uniform, and he responded, “You are right, sir. It is somewhat bothersome to worry about what to wear every morning.” When we think of freedom, we tend to think of the freedom to wear anything we like, but the same freedom is causing the freedom of not having to choose what we wear ineffective.

Hello. My name is Tatsuzo Taguchi. I studied Philosophy at university (at University of Victoria in Canada), and I have been studying Philosophy ever since. I am particularly fond of Nietzsche-san, and I have translated Takeda Seiji Sensei's Introduction to Nietzsche (sold at Amazon Kindle). They haven't sold too many copies, but I translated this book because I wanted to leave something about Philosophy for my son. I translated the book because I couldn't find books in English more suited for that purpose. In other words, I consider this book by Takeda Sensei to be one of the best books in English on the subject of Nietzsche-san and Philosophy. So I hope you will get a chance to read it one day soon.
Philosophy may sound like a rather bothersome subject. You may have perhaps heard of Descartes-san's "I think therefore I am" or Kant-san's "Thing-In-Itself," but you probably have little idea as to what they are about. Even if you looked them up, you may be puzzled as to why they would think about such things. So Philosophy may in fact be bothersome. But conversely, that is because our life or reality is bothersome. In that sense, the purpose of Philosophy may be regarded as to clarify and tidy up our bothersome life or reality.
If we left bothersome things as they are, just like how cluttered towns and homes become difficult to live in, our life and reality also gets more and more complicated. I hope my discourse on Philosophy can help you declutter some of the bothersome aspects of life or reality.
