Inventions of the Imagination: Romanticism and Beyond by Richard T. Gray (Englis

Description: Inventions of the Imagination by Richard T. Gray, Nicholas Halmi, Gary J. Handwerk, Michael A. Rosenthal, Klaus Vieweg Explores the diverse theories and assessments of the dialectic between reason and imagination in a collection of essays by philosophers and literary and cultural critics FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The dialectic between reason and imagination forms a key element in Romantic and post- Romantic philosophy, science, literature, and art. Inventions of the Imagination explores the diverse theories and assessments of this dialectic in essays by philosophers and literary and cultural critics. By the end of the eighteenth century, reason as the predominant human faculty had run its course, and imagination emerged as another force whose contributions to human intellectual existence and productivity had to be newly calculated and constantly recalibrated. The attempt to establish a universal form of reason alongside a plurality of imaginative capacities describes the ideological program of modernism from the end of the eighteenth century to the present day. This collection chronicles some of the vicissitudes in the conceptualization and evaluation of the imagination across time and in various disciplines.

Taken together they also chart the mutations in the conceptualization and evaluation occurring across time in various disciplines, especially philosophy and literary studies... The essay in this volume are clearly written and stimulating, jargon-free despite the sometimes complex material, and the volume has made the transition from a collection of conference papers to a set of polished essays in an exemplary way." - John Guthrie, Modern Language Review Promotional Explores the diverse theories and assessments of the dialectic between reason and imagination in a collection of essays by philosophers and literary and cultural critics Review Quote "This is a stimulating collection of papers, foregrounding the role of the imagination at a time when its lack can be almost palpably felt across the educational curriculum and in the political arena." - Paul Bishop , Journal of European Studies , 42 (2), 2012 Details ISBN0295990996 Short Title INVENTIONS OF THE IMAGINATION Pages 208 Publisher University of Washington Press Language English ISBN-10 0295990996 ISBN-13 9780295990996 Media Book Format Paperback Year 2011 Imprint University of Washington Press Subtitle Romanticism and Beyond Country of Publication United States Edited by Klaus Vieweg Birth 1954 Place of Publication Seattle Publication Date 2011-06-20 UK Release Date 2011-06-20 AU Release Date 2011-06-20 NZ Release Date 2011-06-20 US Release Date 2011-06-20 Author Klaus Vieweg DEWEY 801 Audience Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly Alternative 9780295801650 Series Inventions of the Imagination We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
