Knowledge Through Imagination

ISBN: 9780198716808 出版年：2016 页码：261 Oxford University Press

Imagination allows us to escape from the mundane and the real world, yet it also seems to furnish us with knowledge about that world—when we plan for the future, for instance. Ten original essays illuminate the epistemic role of imagination, blending perspectives from philosophy of mind, cognitive science, epistemology, aesthetics, and ethics.
