John Krummel's Background Story
- John Krummel grew up bilingual in Tokyo with a Japanese mother and English-teaching father.
- His academic journey led him to study Heidegger, Nishida, and eventually translate Miki Kiyoshi's complex work.
Imagination as World Builder
- The "logic" of imagination refers to the structure by which imagination actively constructs our world.
- Miki extends Kant and Heidegger's ideas by including social and embodied praxis in imagination's role.
Imagination Precedes Reason
- Imagination is more originary than reason because it acts as the faculty forming forms beyond conscious intellect.
- Miki even sees imagination as operating biologically, preceding human intellect and forming nature itself.
