Introduction

New Philosophy of Life
Written by Okada Jikan Mokichi, 1950

I selected these writings from those published in our newspapers and magazine. I chose only interesting ones for readers as much as possible, which would be meaningful enough to feed their souls. Furthermore, I revised them to aim for perfection as much as possible. So, even those who have already read them would be impressed anew.

You will find a variety of subjects in the writings such as current topics, religions, ethics, precepts for your life and so on, which you should know as a human being. I hope that you read them as the guideline for the course of your life as they would be called the new philosophy of life.
