Online Reading Group and Lectures: New English Translation of The Logic of Imagination by Miki Kiyoshi

Gerald Nelson Jr. from Penn State and Richard Stone from Waseda University are hosting a biweekly online reading group and a series of lectures to celebrate Professor John Krummel’s newly released English translation of Miki Kiyoshi’s magnum opus, The Logic of Imagination. While Japanese audiences may be familiar with Miki Kiyoshi, this new translation offers an opportunity to expand the dialogue between Japanese and international scholars. This series aims to foster and grow the community of scholars interested in Japanese philosophy, both in Japan and abroad.

The meetings will be conducted entirely in English, which may present a challenge for some Japanese participants. However, this also serves as a unique opportunity to practice and engage with scholarly English in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Reading is done in both Japanese and English. If you need assistance in locating a copy, feel free to contact Gerald at gkn5069@psu.edu.

Reading group meeting time:
Thursdays from 7-9 am Japan time, starting on September 18th and continuing until April 23rd.
