The Wake of Imagination: Ideas of Creativity in Western Culture by Richard Kearney explores the diverse models of imagination that have shaped Western culture. From ancient Hebraic and Greek traditions to medieval, Romantic, existential, and post-modern perspectives, Kearney examines how these concepts have influenced artistic expression and our understanding of creativity. Through a rich and varied narrative, Kearney plots the evolution of imaginative thought from its earliest beginnings to the present day. This thought-provoking work offers insights into the nature of imagination and its role in shaping human culture. With 467 pages of insightful analysis, The Wake of Imagination is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of creativity.
