Ikutaro Shimizu and his period

清水Ikutaro是二战后日本著名的社会学家和舆论领袖之一，他写了三本自传。清水正孝在42岁时写了第一部自传。一般来说，清水正孝还太年轻，不适合写自传。但当时，清水正站在人生的关键转折点上。对他来说，有必要回顾过去，而不是留恋过去，而是朝着改变的人生道路迈出一步。清水正孝写第二部自传时48岁。他写了第一部自传才六年。但清水孝一并不只是重复第一部自传的内容。清水正孝在第一部自传中讲述了他的公共生活，或者说是他的教育和职业生涯。相比之下，他在第二部自传中讲述了他的私人生活或家庭事业。第二本自传的内容补充了第一本所提供的信息。在第二本自传中还有一个很重要的因素。清水在他的新生活阶段开始时所面临的孤独被投射到第二部自传的情节中。清水正孝写第三部自传的时候已经67岁了。自第二本自传出版以来，已经过去了二十年。因此，清水正孝能够在新的自传中加入许多发生在他四五十岁时的新情节。与此同时，清水在书中还包括了许多他生活中的旧事，包括他十几岁、二十多岁和三十多岁的经历，这些都已经在他的第一部和第二部自传中讲述过了。有些旧情节被明显地或更微妙地修改了。清水正孝对每一集的细节都很关注，他在最后一部自传中尽可能地避免戏剧化。此外，清水正孝通过对旧事的讲述，积极地表达了他对当下社会问题的看法。第三部自传是过去与现在的对话。少

Ikutaro Shimizu, a famous sociologist and one of the opinion leaders in Japan following World War II, has written three autobiographies about his life.Shimizu was 42 years old when he wrote the first autobiography. In an ordinary sense, Shimizu was too young to write an autobiography. But at that time, Shimizu was standing at a critical turning point in his life course. It was necessary for him to look back upon the past, not to yearn for the past, but to take steps toward a changed life course.Shimizu was 48 years old when he wrote the second autobiography. Only six years had passed since he had written the first autobiography. But Shimizu did not merely rehash the contents of the first autobiography. In the first autobiography, Shimizu told about his public life, or his educational and professional career. In contrast, he told about his private life, or his family career, in the second autobiography. The contents of the second autobiography complement the information presented in the … More first one. There is one other factor that is important in the second autobiography. The loneliness Shimizu faced at the beginning of his new life stage is projected onto the episodes that are recounted in the second autobiography.Shimizu was 67 years old when he composed the third autobiograthy. Twenty years had passed since the publication of the second autobiography. Therefore, Shimizu was able to incorporate into the new autobiography many new episodes that occurred during his 40's and 50's. At the same time, Shimizu included many old episodes of his life, experiences from his teens, his 2O's, and his 30's, which had been already told in the first and second autobiographies. Some of the old episodes were clearly or more subtly modified. Shimizu was concerned with the details of each episode, and he tried to exclude dramatization from his last autobiography as much as he possibly could. Moreover, Shimizu positively expressed his opinions about up-to-the-minute social problems through the telling of the old episodes. The third autobiography is a dialogue between the past and the present. Less
