I went to Uchinada in Kanazawa with that person and did various things, but I don't know much about Mr. Shimizu. What surprised me was that he wrote in the Asahi Shimbun that he had been deceived, that he had thought that the people involved in the peace movement were more innocent than they were, and that there were many terrible people, and he wrote a whining article. If a natural scientist wrote something like that, I think it would be fine. However, he is a sociologist. What is it about a sociologist being surprised that he was deceived by people in a society?
 
... It doesn't matter what happens to Mr. Shimizu himself, but if it's acceptable for a sociologist to write such a whine, then I wonder what sociology is really about. (by the nuclear physicist and peace activist Mitsuo Taketani, in a conversation with Hideo Odagiri, “The Reconstruction of Intellectuals,” 1971, pp.87-89)
 
The person mentioned as “that person” and “Mr. Shimizu” is the sociologist Ikutaro Shimizu, the focus of this narrative. It is common to question one's research direction after years of study; however, overt criticism can lead to surprise and frustration. The best way to defend the honor of sociology might be to confront Shimizu directly, given that he has extensively pondered the question, “What is sociology?”
 
In the preface to his book “Introduction to Sociology” (1959), he writes the following:
 
This book is crafted for the true layman. While I address similar issues, my approach weaves these issues with my personal experiences, however flawed they may be. Of course, the intention to make it easy to read plays a part. But, in addition, my belief is that sociology both emerges from and returns to everyday life. (pp.3-4)
 
Many sociologists worry that their work might be seen merely as “life guidance.” However, Shimizu says that sociology is the study of “everyday life,” or “to live.” I have decided to clarify the sense in which sociology is the study of “everyday life” by tracing themes hidden in Shimizu's writings in a variety of genres, including the history of sociology, media studies, family theory, and autobiographies.
 
My conclusion is that Shimizu recognizes that human life is inseparable from the societal rules or “frame,” as he puts it, and argues that “to live” is to resist and struggle against them. This constant dynamic of challenging and reshaping societal norms defines everyday life, ranging from minor personal conflicts to revolutions that reshape the entire political landscape.
 
This struggle between individuals and society is fundamental to sociology, and intense drama is far from irrelevant in our current lives. I hope you see that you too are participants in this drama.
