Imagining: A Phenomenological Study

Product Description 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. About the Author Edward S. Casey is Professor of Philosophy at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He is author of Remembering: A Phenomenological Study, Getting Back into Place: Toward a Renewed Understanding of the Place-World, and The Fate of Place: A Philosophical History.
