A une époque où la thématique de l'imaginaire est (re)devenue omniprésente dans beaucoup de disciplines, au prix peut-être d'une banalisation et d'une usure sémantique et épistémologique, cette décade inédite, tenue à Cerisy en 1978, se révèle, trente-six ans après, dotée d'une pertinence et d'une acuité exceptionnelles. Loin d'être anachroniques ou d'être une simple archive, les actes de ce colloque se présentent comme profondément ancrés dans de solides problématiques, plus que jamais actuelles, abordant avec précision des questions majeures de l'imaginaire, confirmant ainsi le bien-fondé du sujet et la clairvoyance des organisateurs, Maurice de Gandillac et Wanda Bannour, auxquels ce volume rend par-là hommage.

Si l'imagination au pouvoir était un slogan, cet ouvrage montre qu'il peut être une réalité. Près d'une quarantaine de personnalités exceptionnelles ont accepté de partager leur relation avec l'imagination dans leurs domaines respectifs. Qu'ils soient astronaute, philosophe, cyborg, militant écologiste, mathématicien, anthropologue, acteur, astrophysicien, ou encore chanteur, tous se retrouvent autour de la puissance de l'imagination, elle qui leur a permis d'accomplir des choses hors norme. Le goût d'imaginer sa vie est l’œuvre collective de femmes et d'hommes d'horizons divers qui construisent la société du futur, à la force de leur imagination. Une telle concentration de personnalités mondialement reconnues dans leur domaine est une première dans un ouvrage collectif. Qu'ils soient français, chinois, anglais, suisses, canadiens, américains, irlandais, belges, danois, algériens ou singapouriens, ces 40 penseurs nous confient ici leur vision de l'imagination par leur parcours et leur expérience. Ils ne nous offrent pas un chemin tracé, ils nous montrent l'existence des chemins.

"Imagination occupies a central place in philosophy, going back to Aristotle. However, following a period of relative neglect there has been an explosion of interest in imagination in the past two decades as philosophers examine the role of imagination in debates about the mind and cognition, aesthetics and ethics, as well as epistemology, science and mathematics. This outstanding Handbook contains over thirty specially commissioned chapters by leading philosophers organized into six clear sections examining the most important aspects of the philosophy of imagination, including: Imagination in historical context: Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Husserl, and Sartre; What is imagination? The relation between imagination and mental imagery; imagination contrasted with perception, memory, and dreaming; Imagination in aesthetics: imagination and our engagement with music, art, and fiction; the problems of fictional emotions and 'imaginative resistance;' Imagination in philosophy of mind and cognitive science: imagination and creativity, the self, action, child development, and animal cognition; Imagination in ethics and political philosophy, including the concept of 'moral imagination' and empathy; Imagination in epistemology and philosophy of science, including learning, thought experiments, scientific modeling, and mathematics." -- Publisher's descriptionImagination occupies a central place in philosophy, going back to Aristotle.
