Miki Kiyoshi and the Crisis of Thought

Miki Kiyoshi (1897–1945) is arguably one of the most underappreciated thinkers of the Kyoto School—certainly outside of Japan. This collection examines his life and thought as someone who “continuously wandered in search of his own path.” The first three essays examine his confrontation with Neo-Kantianism, Heidegger, and Marxism. The next four essays focus on his philosophy history, technology, anthropology, and the logic of imagination. The final three essays present Miki’s intellectual journey beyond the confines of the Academy: his work as an editor, journalist, and public intellectual, and the reception of his thought in Korea.
