Publisher's Synopsis
Miki Kiyoshi (1897-1945) is one of the most important Japanese philosophers of the twentieth century. Unfortunately, his work has not been widely studied outside of Japan. Miki combines elements of Pascal, Hegel, Marx, Heidegger, Cassirer, and Nishida into an original theory of the logic of imagination as the dialectical tension of pathos-logos found at the root of history, society, religion, and everydayness. This volume brings together a series of essays that critically examine the most important dimensions of Miki's philosophy ranging from his theory of fundamental experience, his existential Marxism, his philosophy of religion, and his theory of technology.
