哲学は永遠にボケ続ける世界に対するツッコミだと著者は言う。「なんでやねん」と哲学者は言い続けている。建築も本来はそうなんだが、生きる意味なんて考えずに世界を無意味にする箱を生産し続ける人のなんと多いことか。そろそろアホらしくなってきた。これまでは「何をされていますか」と聞かれたら職業倫理上「建築」あるいは「建築教育」と答えてきたが来春からは「哲学」と答えようかな。The author says that philosophy is a tsukkomi against a world that is forever in obscurity. ``Why not?'' philosophers keep saying. This is true of architecture as well, but how many people are told by their superiors to stop talking and draw plans, and instead of thinking about the meaning of life, they continue to produce boxes that make the world meaningless? I'm starting to look like an idiot. Up until now, when I have been asked, ``What do you do?'' I have answered ``architecture'' or ``architectural education'' for professional ethics reasons, but from next spring I think it would be good to answer ``philosophy.''
