Imagination in Inquiry: A Philosophical Model and Its Applications
investigates the nature, kinds, component elements, functions,
scope, and uses of the imagination involved in inquiry. It further
discusses how these kinds and functions vary and interact depending
on the context of inquiries carried out in philosophy and its
branches-from the philosophy of science and the philosophy of
technology to ethics, sociopolitical philosophy, and aesthetics-and
institutions like science, technology, art, and education. Using a
homeostatic model, A. Pablo Iannone advances a conception of the
imagination as a disposition to search for answers to various types
of problems, abstract or concrete, theoretical or practical faced
in inquiry. The book treats this as a working characterization,
though it develops progressively clearer, more precise, and less
ambiguous meanings. All along, the primary concern of the author-as
well as of contributors Alejandra Iannone and Rocci Luppicini-is
with the moral, aesthetic, logical, communicative, scientific,
technological, artistic, literary, and philosophical uses and roles
of the imagination. The book's primary focus is not just on such
things as the capacity to generate mental images, but especially on
the ability to discover and create, anticipate and envision,
entertain and manage.
