The Madness of Love: A Flower Unfurls Its Petals upon This Earth

Abstract This essay is an explotatory meditation on evil, justice, love, and beauty, interweaving the works of philosophers, writers, and filmmakers including Simone Weil, Nishida Kitaro, Hamaguchi Ryusuke, Ishimure Michiko, and Sato Makoto, each profoundly rooted in life (Seimei) as the ceaseless dialectics of being made and making.
