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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Conceptualizations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: A Conceptual Cartography of Inquiry, the Imagination, and their Interconnected Roles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Dynamics of the Imagination\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: The Imagination’s Elements: Motives, Abilities, Circumstances, Instruments, and Functions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: The Interactive Imagination\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II: The Imagination: Philosophical And Practical\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: The Philosophical Imagination\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Wonder, Reason, and the Imagination in Philosophical Inquiry Contrasted with Inquiry in Art, Literature, and Science \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: Inquiry and the Imagination’s Balancing Act\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: Basic Philosophical Attitudes and the Imagination\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III: Comparative Assessments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Nine: Feedback Loops, Today's World, and the Practical Imagination\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Ten: Analogies and Disanalogies between the Roles of the Imagination in Inquiries in Philosophy, the Arts, Sciences, Other Branches of Inquiry, and Everyday Life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart IV: Applications and Tests of This Book’s Model\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eleven: Speech Acts, the Exercise of Logic, and the Imagination in Inquiry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Twelve: The Imagination, Humor, and a Sense of Humor \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Thirteen: The Imagination, and the Mixed Gift of Vision in Individual and Social Life \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Fourteen: Inquiry and The Imagination in Moral Decision Making\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart V: The Imagination, Current Developments, and Future Prospects in Art and the Digital World \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Fifteen: Imagining Dance Mash-Ups: A Practice-based Inquiry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlejandra Iannone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Sixteen: Expanding Youth Ballet Education with Web-hosted Video Post-COVID\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlejandra Iannone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seventeen: The Imagination in Technology-Ethics: The Factual, the Virtual, and the Fictional: Imagination, Appreciation, and the Open-Ended Domain of Cultural Expressions in the Digital World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eighteen: The Imagination in Technology-Aesthetics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRocci Luppicini\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042692366679,"sku":"9781793649720","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793649720.jpg?v=1750955205","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/imagination-in-inquiry-a-philosophical-model-and-its-applications-9781793649720","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
