Miki Kyoshi's The Logic of Imagination: A Critical Introduction and Translation: Bloomsbury Introductions to World Philosophies

Traducere de Dr John W. M. Krummel Autor Kiyoshi Miki
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iul 2024
The Japanese philosopher Miki Kiyoshi opens doors to all those interested in rethinking the problem of imagination, myth, and technology.Miki Kiyoshi is one of the central figures in the Kyoto School, often spoken of as the heir of Kitaro Nishida. Born in Japan in 1897, he died in prison shortly after the end of World War II in 1945 at the age of 48.Miki's Logic of Imagination first appeared in the journal Thought in 1937 under the themes of "Myth," "Institution," and "Technology". The next part, "Experience," was serialized in the same journal and Miki continued to work on the final part, but was never completed it due to his arrest. This translation makes this seminal work available in English for the first time. Featuring an introduction and accompanied throughout by contextual notes, it includes essential information about Miki's life and work. Miki's philosophy of the imagination anticipated later theories found first in Hannah Arendt, and then in Paul Ricoeur and most recently in Charles Taylor. The connection Miki makes of the imagination with technology anticipates ideas of the technological imagination in Don Ihde and Bernard Stiegler. Miki's thinking about the imagination illuminates our understanding of technology and how we behave in the world. This accessible, critical edition of his work does justice to one of the most unfairly underrated authors of Japanese philosophy.

Recenzii

At last the magnum opus of one of Japan's most renowned and influential modern philosophers is available to English readers. Miki Kiyoshi's The Logic of Imagination is skillfully translated and informatively introduced by John Krummel, one of the leading scholars in the field.
This long-awaited English translation of Miki Kiyoshi's magnum opus, accompanied with the translator's critical introduction and contextual notes, will lead to a significantly deeper understanding of Japanese philosophy and the Kyoto School in the English-speaking world as well as provide new impetus for further research on philosophy of imagination and social imaginaries, philosophy of culture and philosophy of technology, as well as comparative philosophy.
The Logic of Imagination shows how myth-making, culture-forming, and the technological reshaping of the environment arise from both irrational and rational experience and give rise to the world we live in. Krummel's introduction and annotated translation bring Miki's most important work to life and suggest his relevance for ecological challenges today.
Hurrah! The first, English language publication of Miki Kyoshi's Logic of Imagination is here! First published as a series of essays in the late 1930s and early 1940s, this highly significant text elaborates a distinctive philosophy of the imagination that emerges after enduring encounters with Nishida, Heidegger, and Marx in the final years of Miki's life. Superbly introduced and translated by John Krummel, himself a noted scholar of Japanese philosophy, Miki's Logic of Imagination is a must read for all those interested in questions of the imagination, creativity, technology, institution, and the human condition.
Miki Kiyoshi's writings are among the most clear and provocative of the Kyoto School philosophers. With outstanding commentary and fluid translation, John Krummel's book reveals a fascinating and distinctive figure of the Kyoto School little known to most Western readers. An important contribution to Western scholarship on modern Japanese thought.
