Biography

Fukuda was the pseudonym of Yukiari Segawa (瀬川行有, Segawa Yukiari), born on 6 April 1917. He studied philosophy at Hosei University (Tokyo), graduating in 1940. In 1944 he was sent to Halmahera; he returned to Japan in 1946. Two years later he started teaching philosophy at his old university, where he would stay until 1970. Thereafter he supported himself by his writing.

Fukuda — the name he used as a teacher as well as a writer — was a prolific author: a hyōronka (critic or pundit) and popularizer of philosophy. He died on 11 December 2002.

gollark: It's not as if the HECf reactors run efficiently at all.

gollark: Oh nooooo, how horrible, people are designing high-heat reactors and using them on low-heat stuff...

gollark: <@222954376677949442> I don't see if it matters if people make HECf ones and run other fuels in them. Under the current rules they're worse than other designs for efficiency and stuff anyway.
