Egotisme (English spelling) [France]

Japanese: エゴティスム(英語表記)égotisme[フランス]
Egotisme (English spelling) [France]
Refers to a strong interest in one's own physical and mental uniqueness and a detailed description of it. It is translated as egoism. Stendhal was particularly fond of using this word to distinguish it from egoism, which means selfishness. "Egotism, so long as it is sincere, is a way of describing the human heart" (Stendhal, "Memoirs of Egotism"). According to J. Addison's The Spectator of July 2, 1714, the word originated from a hermit at the monastery of Port-Royal.

Japanese:
自分自身の肉体的,精神的固有性への強い関心,およびその綿密な記述を指す。自我主義と訳される。利己主義を意味するエゴイズムと区別して,スタンダールがとくに好んでこの言葉を使用した。〈エゴティスムといえども,`それが誠実なものである限り’,人間の心を描き出すひとつの方法である〉(スタンダール《エゴティスムの回想》)。J.アディソンの《スペクテーター》紙1714年7月2日号によれば,この語はポール・ロアイヤル修道院の隠士に由来するという。
