Mishima is considered an important mediator of the so-called critical theory in East Asia. Other focal points of his work are modern philosophy, above all the reception of the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Walter Benjamin, the theory and empiricism of selective and multiple modernity as well as intellectual discourses in Germany.{{cite web |title=Robert Bosch Academy - Ken'ichi Mishima |url=http://www.robertboschacademy.de/content/language2/html/56317.asp |website=www.robertboschacademy.de |publisher=Robert Bosch Academy}}
