Abstract

This paper takes up a reading of Miki Kiyoshi (1897–1945) in the context of the Davos debate and argues that Miki provides us with the beginnings of a way beyond the current impasse. The paper is divided into three sections. Section one sets the context of our reading of Miki by returning to the Davos debate in order to clarify how we are to understand the irreconcilable opposition between Cassirer and Heidegger and the reasons for the impasse in the debate. Section two provides a reading of Miki’s The Logic of the Imagination that situates Miki’s philosophy between the irreconcilable opposition that is at the heart of the Davos debate that opens a way beyond the impasse. Section three examines the nature of freedom and ethics in Hegel, Heidegger, Cassirer, and Miki. In the Conclusion, we return to the decisive historical moment that defines our times from the perspective of Miki’s theory of radical creative politics.
