Miki Kiyoshi (1897-1945)

TTS Editions | Miki Kiyoshi | Translation Archives | Threshold

Miki Kiyoshi’s philosophical Marxism treats history as a concrete system of lived processes shaped by material conditions, human agency, and the contradictions of daily life. For Miki, thought must remain embedded in practice in order to serve as a means for grasping the forces that shape human existence, for it is only on this condition that it can open possibilities for true historical change. Joining rigorous philosophical questioning to an ethics of historical engagement, his work insists that ideas acquire their force through the worlds they help us perceive and remake.
