[Gould and Sōseki and Neuropsychology: Revisiting the Brain Mechanism of Hi-ninzjo (Inhumanity)]

The Canadian pianist Glenn Gould, referred to as a "concert dropout," is known for his recorded performances that are applauded even during current times. Gould identified with Sōseki's concept of "Hi-ninzyo (Inhumanity)" and was an ardent admirer of Sōseki Natsume's well-known novel, "The Three-Cornered World." In this paper, I rediscuss my previous work that describes neuropsychologically the brain mechanisms underlying intelligence, emotions, and will that form the basis of "Hi-ninzyo (Inhumanity)" as the cognition and attitudes of life that Gould and Sōseki shared.
