This book examines the turning point in modern philosophy in which Kant overcomes previous philosophical systems through his theory of imagination.
Cody Staton claims that Kant's decision to describe the imagination as mediating between the self and the world created an irrevocable philosophical standpoint. For Kant, since the imagination assists all the powers of the mind, it plays a critical role in the function of all philosophy. This applies to our ideas of God, the soul, the beauty that we experience in nature, the creation and enjoyment of art, and the very idea of life itself.
Cody Staton is Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the University System of Georgia. He is the translator and editor of two forthcoming titles with Takeshi Morisato, The Early Work of Tannabe Hajime (1910-1919), (Rowman & Littlefield) and Kant's Theory of Teleology According to Tanabe Hajime (Chisokudō Publications). He serves as an editor of the leading journal in romantic philosophy, Symphilosophie: International Journal of Philosophical Romanticism.
