Title
Imagining: A Phenomenological Study - Paperback
by Edward S. Casey (Author)
Imagining
A Phenomenological Study
Second Edition
Edward S. Casey
A classic firsthand account of the lived character of imaginative experience.
"This scrupulous, lucid study is destined to become a touchstone for all future writings on imagination." --Library Journal
"Casey's work is doubly valuable--for its major substantive contribution to our understanding of a significant mental activity, as well as for its exemplary presentation of the method of phenomenological analysis." --Contemporary Psychology
". . . an important addition to phenomenological philosophy and to the humanities generally." --Choice
". . . deliberately and consistently phenomenological, oriented throughout to the basically intentional character of experience and disciplined by the requirement of proceeding by way of concrete description. . . . [Imagining] is an exceptionally well-written work." --International Philosophical Quarterly
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.
