Abstract
Kiyoshi Miki (1897–1945), a Japanese philosopher, is little known at least among Western psychologists, but his thoughts seem to help us to clarify features and problems in modern Western psychology, especially the psychology of C. G. Jung (1875–1961). Since 1967, Miki’s works have been available in Miki Kiyoshi Zenshu (Complete Works of Kiyoshi Miki; henceforth MKZ) in 20 volumes, and some soft-cover editions of his essays are long sellers in Japan. However, none of his writings has been translated into any foreign language. Although some studies of modern Japan have mentioned Miki, the secondary literature in English thematically dealing with his works is limited to two (Nagatomo, 1995; Townsend, 2009).
