Imagination and Postmodernity addresses the role of the imagination
in philosophy today. By focusing on philosophy at the boundary of
reason with constant reference to Kant's view of the
boundary-limit, it is possible to advance a viable alternative to
deconstructing the imagination. Patrick L. Bourgeois puts forth the
claim that by refocusing the imagination in the postmodern
conversation, a far-reaching contemporary position can be reached
that reestablishes the position of the humanities as central
against the anti-humanism of deconstruction. This work addresses
some of the challenges and problems that emerge in conflicting
positions within contemporary philosophy, including a concentration
on the role of the imagination in the work of Paul Ricoeur in
contrast and in opposition to its role in such postmodern thinkers
as Derrida and Lyotard. This treatment requires going back to the
role of the imagination in the period of Kant and his immediate
followers in order to clarify the various ways of seeing the
imagination then and now, for the role today is anticipated in the
nineteenth century. Finally, this work, as a creative appropriation
of the position of Paul Ricoeur, presents a role for the
imagination today that is more encompassing than most thinkers
allow for.
