Abstract

<p>About the description of lies in “the Logic of the Committee”(1936) of Masakazu NAKAI, Hiroyuki GOTO (1965) and Ichiro HARIU & Seigo MATSUOKA (1982) regarded the lies as useful for the development of social communication. On the other hand, Yutaka ARASE (1979) emphasized the theme of overcoming the lies in NAKAI's all works and his life. However, when we read “the Logic of the Committee” carefully, the text of it supports the useful side of lies and we find the reference of the merits of lies latent but ubiquitous in the text. In the postscript of the no.14 of World Cultures (Sekai Bunka) in which “the Logic of the Committee” was compiled, the editor had expressed having urged NAKAI to compress his existing manuscripts due to the space. Although ‘a basic and veritable projection' and ‘absence of copula', which both are important concepts of NAKAI's other works, appear only once in “the Logic of the Committee”, we could understand these concepts in the context of lies, if we overlap them with his preceding or succeeding works. Lies also involve the looped models of the 16th section, which is ‘the main section' (Shunpei UEYAMA) of “the Logic of the Committee”. Owing to these interpretations, this article aims to help us to understand the complicated text of “the Logic of the Committee” more easily.</p>
