Chapter 1Beginning in the Middle of Things

Sepper, Dennis L.

Pages: 1 –15

[The history of imagination raises different constellations of questions, with few definitive answers. Is imagination the source of creativity (as popular culture has held since Romanticism) or a producer of falsehoods (perhaps the majority position in premodern and early modern thought)? Is it...

Chapter 2Locating Emergent Appearance

Sepper, Dennis L.

Pages: 17 –52

[Contemporary studies of imagination tend to go off track because of two inveterate presuppositions and a problematic attitude. One presupposition, a heritage of Romanticism, is that imagination is the power of creativity; the other is that the prototypical case of imagining is calling to mind...

Chapter 3Locating Imagination: The Inceptive Field Productivity and Differential Topology of Imagining (Plus What It Means to Play a Game)

Sepper, Dennis L.

Pages: 53 –101

[One of the first tasks in investigating imagination is to determine what kind of phenomenon it is and to work out appropriate conceptual and descriptive vocabulary for its basic features. Traditionally it has been understood as dependent on sense perception and related to memory. The skeptical...

Chapter 4Plato and the Ontological Placement of Images

Sepper, Dennis L.

Pages: 103 –184

[What imagination is cannot be answered apart from understanding its conceptual topology, the articulated framework of basic phenomena and concepts that govern our thinking about it. The first step is to understand how the image (as object), then imagination (as psychological power), developed...

Chapter 5Aristotle’s phantasia: From Animal Sensation to Understanding Forms of Fields

Sepper, Dennis L.

Pages: 185 –265

[What imagination is cannot be answered apart from understanding its conceptual topology, the articulated framework of basic phenomena and concepts that govern our thinking about it. The second step toward this goal is to grasp how Aristotle (384–322 B.C.E.) exploited and revolutionized the basic...

Chapter 6The Dynamically Imaginative Cognition of Descartes

Sepper, Dennis L.

Pages: 267 –329

[What imagination is cannot be answered apart from understanding its conceptual topology, the articulated framework of basic phenomena and concepts that govern our thinking about it. The Platonic ontology of the good (as well as the forms) imaging itself in all levels of reality and the...

Chapter 7The Cartesian Heritage: Kant and the Conceptual Topology of Imagination and Reason

Sepper, Dennis L.

Pages: 331 –398

[Descartes had radicalized the Platonic-Aristotelian conceptual topology of imagination in his mathematical natural science, which was rapidly adopted over the next century. But the empiricist treatment of images as weak representations of sensation and the tendency of empiricists and lesser...

Chapter 8After Kant: Appropriating the Conceptual Topology of Imagination

Sepper, Dennis L.

Pages: 399 –481

[Kant’s legacy to the nineteenth century was twofold. In the aesthetic realm, he presented imagination as engaged in interplay with other psychological powers. This led, through Fichte and Schelling, to the Romantic overgrowth of imagination conceived as not just artistic but creative and higher...
LitStream

Chapter 9The Ethos of Imagining

Sepper, Dennis L.

Pages: 483 –526

[As the previous chapter shows, recent theory has closely tied imagination to language, and therefore also to rationality. This is a return to the conceptual topology that originated in antiquity and that has occasionally been revived in modern thought. Imagination works by marking positions in...
