Description

This volume collects essays by leading researchers on the propositional imagination. It is the mental capacity we use when we imagine that Holmes has a bad habit or that there are zombies. It plays a central role in philosophical theorizing, engagement with fiction, and everyday life. The Architecture of the Imagination: New Essays on Pretence, Possibility, and Fiction extends the cognitive account of this capacity, broadening the theoretical picture and exploring its philosophical implications.
