Description
Imagining: A Phenomenological Study by Edward S. Casey explores the fundamental forms that imagination assumes in everyday life. Through a detailed analysis of imaginative experience, Casey reveals the essential features that distinguish it from perception and defines it as a radically autonomous act involving a characteristic freedom of mind. Drawing on his own experiences of imagining, Casey examines the basic characteristics of all imaginative experience, demonstrating its eidetic distinctness from perception. This work presents a rigorous phenomenological analysis, proceeding by way of concrete description and disciplined by the requirement of intentional character. A new preface places Imagining within the context of current issues in philosophy and psychology, providing a fresh perspective on this significant mental activity.
