This book explores a topic that has recently become the subject of
increased philosophical interest: how can imagination be put to
epistemic use? Though imagination has long been invoked in contexts
of modal knowledge, in recent years philosophers have begun to
explore its capacity to play an epistemic role in a variety of
other contexts as well. In this collection, the contributors
address an assortment of issues relating to epistemic uses of
imagination, and in particular, they take up the ways in which our
imaginings must be constrained so as to justify beliefs and give
rise to knowledge. These constraints are explored across several
different contexts in which imagination is appealed to for
justification, namely reasoning, modality and modal knowledge,
thought experiments, and knowledge of self and others. Taken as a
whole, the contributions in this volume break new ground in
explicating when and how imagination can be epistemically useful.
Epistemic Uses of Imagination will be of interest to scholars and
advanced students who are working on imagination, as well as those
working more broadly in epistemology, aesthetics, and philosophy of
mind.
