Part II - Imagination
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 October 2009
Summary
Fictions, cinematic and other, engage the imagination. I present a theory according to which the imagination is a mental mechanism with certain uses and characteristics which can themselves shed light on the psychology of fiction. I develop a theory of visual imagining appropriate to the cinematic case.
