Imagining: A Phenomenological Study (Studies in Continental Thought)

Drawing on his own experiences of imagining, Edward S. Casey describes the essential forms that imagination assumes in everyday life. In a detailed analysis of the fundamental features of all imaginative experience, Casey shows imagining to be eidetically distinct from perceiving and defines it as a radically autonomous act, involving a characteristic freedom of mind. A new preface places Imagining within the context of current issues in philosophy and psychology.Edward S Casey is the author of 'Imagining: A Phenomenological Study (Studies in Continental Thought)', published 2000 under ISBN 9780253338020 and ISBN 0253338026.
