Description:This book explores how imagination can be put to epistemic use. More specifically, the contributors address ways in which our imaginings must be constrained so as to justify beliefs and give rise to knowledge.Imagination can be constrained in at least two ways. One concerns the contents we might entertain in a certain imaginative episode. The other concerns the appropriate ways to manipulate the content within the imagination. The essays in this volume explore several different contexts in which imagination is appealed to for justification, namely reasoning, modal epistemology, thought experiments, and knowledge of self and others. Together, they explain when and how imagination can be epistemically useful, and outline certain contexts where imagination is used epistemically.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.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
