Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring

Imagination: A Very Short Introduction explores imagination as a cognitive power and an essential dimension of human flourishing, demonstrating how imagination plays multiple roles in human cognition and shapes humanity in profound ways. Examining philosophical, evolutionary, and literary perspectives on imagination, the author shows how this facility, while potentially distorting, both frees us from immediate reality and enriches our sense of it, making possible our experience of a meaningful world.

Long regarded by philosophers as an elusive and mysterious capacity of the human mind, imagination has been the subject of extraordinary ambivalence, described as both dangerous and divine, as merely peripheral to rationality and as essential to all thinking. Drawing on philosophy, aesthetics, literary and cognitive theory as well as the human sciences, this book engages the dramatic conceptual history of imagination together with contemporary explanations of its role in cognition to explain its importance in everyday life as well as the exquisite creativity of the arts, scientific discovery, and invention.

Engaging examples from cave paintings to modern painting, performance art to pop art, physics to phenomenology, technological inventions to literary worlds, the Nazca geoglyphs to dramatic theatre, poetry, and jazz improvisation, the author illuminates with clarity and vision the philosophy of imagination and the stakes of its involvement in human thinking.

中文|2024年5月23日|ISBN:0198830025|161页|真PDF | 19.79 MB 简短介绍：精彩、犀利、鼓舞人心 《想象：非常简短的介绍》探讨了想象作为一种认知力量和人类繁荣的重要维度，展示了想象如何在人类认知中发挥多重作用，并以深刻的方式塑造人类。通过考察哲学、进化论和文学对想象的看法，作者展示了这种设施如何在可能扭曲的同时，将我们从直接的现实中解放出来，丰富我们对现实的感知，使我们对一个有意义的世界的体验成为可能。 长期以来，哲学家们一直认为想象力是人类思维中一种难以捉摸、神秘的能力，想象力一直是一种异常矛盾的主题，被描述为既危险又神圣，仅仅是理性的边缘，是所有思维的核心。这本书借鉴了哲学、美学、文学和认知理论以及人文科学，讲述了想象的戏剧性概念史，以及对想象在认知中作用的当代解释，以解释想象在日常生活中的重要性，以及艺术、科学发现和发明的精湛创造力。 从洞穴壁画到现代绘画，从行为艺术到波普艺术，从物理学到现象学，从技术发明到文学世界，从纳斯卡象形文字到戏剧、诗歌和爵士即兴创作，作者以清晰的眼光阐明了想象的哲学及其在人类思维中的参与。
