"The human imagination remains one of the last uncharted terrains of the mind. This accessible and original monograph explores a central aspect of the imagination, the creation of counterfactual alternatives to reality, and claims that imaginative thoughts are guided by the same principles that underlie rational thoughts. Research has shown that rational thought is more imaginative than cognitive scientists had supposed; in The Rational Imagination, Ruth Byrne argues that imaginative thought is more rational than scientists have imagined." "People often create alternatives to reality and imagine how events might have turned out "if only" something had been different. Byrne explores the "fault lines" of reality, the aspects of reality that are more readily changed in imaginative thoughts. She finds that our tendencies to imagine alternatives to actions, controllable events, socially unacceptable actions, causal and enabling relations, and events that come last in a temporal sequence provide clues to the cognitive processes upon which the counterfactual imagination depends. The explanation of these processes, Byrne argues, rests on the idea that imaginative thought and rational thought have much in common. Book jacket."--Jacket.

With particular focus on imagination, Bernard Freydberg presents a close reading of Kant's second critique, The Critique of Practical Reason. In an interpretation that is daring as well as rigorous, Freydberg reveals imagination as both its central force and the bridge that links Kant's three critiques. Freydberg's reading offers a powerful challenge to the widespread view that Kant's ethics calls for rigid, self-denying obedience. Here, to the contrary, the search for self-fulfillment becomes an enorm

L'unité d'un recours à l'analogie n'a jamais cessé d'être contestée dans les disciplines les plus diverses : sociologie, économie, histoire, linguistique, philosophie, etc. En essayant, en effet, de dégager un principe d'unité à travers la variété des phénomènes sociaux, l'analogie apparaît, aux yeux de l'orthodoxie scientifique, comme un parti pris d'impertinence par les rapprochements parfois insolites qu'elle provoque. On lui reproche, au surplus, un caractère trop littéraire : elle ne susciterait qu'un monde d'image où les jeux de mots tiennent lieu de démonstrations. Et pourtant la démarche analogique peut se révéler comme l'une des plus fécondes dans les sciences humains. C'est précisément ce que voudrait souligner cet ouvrage qui vise, en quelque sorte, à poser les principes du bon usage de l'analogie. Dans une première partie, il analyse d'une façon générale les diverses formes de cette figure aux niveaux du discours, de la méthode et de la théorie. Cette triple distinction permet d'abord de préciser les limites dans lesquelles se justifie son emploi. Ensuite de critiquer l'usage abusif quen font bon nombre de spécialistes en sciences humaines - et notamment de sociologues - qui glissent subrepticement d'un point de vue à un autre. Dans la deuxième partie, l'ouvrage s'attache à des recherches plus particulières, afin d'apprécier la manière selon laquelle des auteurs comme Panofsky, Goldmann et Weber s'y prennent pour exploiter systématiquement l'analogie, à partir d'une reconstitution minutieuse de leurs démarches fondamentales. Quiconque entreprend des travaux en sciences humaines est amené, d'une façon ou d'une autre, à tirer parti des ressemblances dans l'explication de la réalité sociale. Aussi cet ouvrage constitue-t-il pour lui un précieux auxiliaire qui l'aidera, notamment, à éviter les pièges que ce cheminement camoufle.
