Albert Camus on Plain Style in The Rebel 反抗者の文体

Albert Camus on Plain Style in The Rebel 反抗者の文体 The mutual understanding and communication discovered by rebellion can survive only in the free exchange of conversation. Every ambiguity, every misunderstanding, leads to death; clear language and simple words are the only salvation from this death.[fn1] [fn1] It is worth noting that the language peculiar to totalitarian doctrines is always a scholastic or administrative language. --- Albert Camus The Rebel (p. 284) 反抗によって発見された総合理解とコミュニケーションは、自由な会話のなかでなくては永続しえない。あいまいと誤解は死を招く。明白な言語、単純なことばのみが、この死を救うことができる。[fn2] [fn2] 全体主義の教義に固有のことばが、いつもスコラ的か官庁的ことがであることに注意すべきであろう。 (p.278) --- 反抗的人間 カミュ全集 6 訳:佐藤朔 白井浩司 新潮社版 (p. 259) #AlbertCamus #TheRebel #PlainStyle #writing #Japanese #Translation #和訳 Christohper Lasch's Plain Style (https://ruhrspora.de/posts/1961906)
