Version Longue

42 min

出生率は下がり、人口は縮小し、世界の先進社会の多くが――静かに、しかし確実に――自らの未来から老いていこうとしている。これは一時的なゆらぎではない。21世紀の新しい人口現実である。『誕生の終焉――人類が避けて通れない運命』は、この変化がなぜ起きているのか、そしてそれが現代の生き方について何を語っているのかを探る書である。個人を責めるのでも、過去を理想化するのでもなく、かつて連続性を支えていた家族・目的・役割・「明日への確信」といった基盤が、どのように静かに弱体化していったのかを丁寧に描き出す。明晰で簡潔な筆致で、本書は人口減少の背後にあるより深い力学を読み解き、人口が収縮する社会が避けて通れない「限られた三つの選択肢」を提示する。そして、統計や政治を超えた問いを静かに投げかける。――私たちは、自らを再生しようとする欲求が薄れていくとき、社会としての本質をどこに見いだすのか。思索的で ...
