Imagination, Philosophy and the Arts is the first comprehensive collection of papers by philosophers examining the nature of imagination and its role in understanding and making art.
Imagination is a central concept in aesthetics with close ties to issues in the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language, yet it has not received the kind of sustained, critical attention it deserves. This collection of seventeen brand new essays critically examines just how and in what form the notion of imagination illuminates fundamental problems in the philosophy of art.Matthew Kieran is Professor of Philosophy and the Arts at University of Leeds, UK. He is the author Revealing Art (2004), and editor of Media Ethics (1998), both published by Routledge.
Dominic McIver Lopes is Associate Dean in the Faculty of Arts and Distinguished University Scholar and Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia, Canada. He is the editor (with Berys Gaut) of The Routledge Companion to Aesthetics.
