This book presents a dialogue between Shigeki Noya, a prominent Japanese philosopher, and nine philosophers influenced by his work.
 
Noya, known for his extensive writings on perception, mind, action, meaning, and logic, draws from the philosophy of L. Wittgenstein and analytic philosophy. This book is particularly valuable for its thorough coverage of Noya's diverse arguments, providing a rare opportunity to explore his philosophy comprehensively.
 
Unlike typical analyses, this book features nine contributors who rigorously examine and sometimes challenge Noya’s arguments, applying their specific expertise. These discussions highlight aspects of Noya's arguments, occasionally exploring an idea more deeply than Noya did himself.
 
One of the features of this book is that Noya offers individual responses to each essay. This approach mirrors that in Tetsugaku no Nazo, a book produced by Noya’s supervisor Shozo Omori, and philosophers influenced by him. In the latter book, Noya was the youngest contributor. In this book, he engages with a new generation of thinkers, such as Lee, a specialist in free will, who contributed Chapter 5. In this chapter, the debate centers on whether humans truly possess free will, with Noya arguing in favor, and the author critiquing his view by highlighting overlooked aspects and questioning the space for human freedom within Noya's overall philosophical structure. Although Noya points out some fault in Lee’s understanding, he openly acknowledges his own uncertainties about the concept of “freedom.”
 
Each chapter presents a candid dialogue among experts, showcasing their latest research. Although the book may sacrifice some accessibility and clarity which Noya’s writing always has, it effectively demonstrates the solid foundation in philosophical history and rigorous logic of his philosophy.

This book is recommended for those interested in Noya’s philosophy, readers seeking deeper insights into Wittgenstein and analytic philosophy, and anyone interested in philosophical debates.
