{"product_id":"philosophy-of-imagination-1","title":"Philosophy of Imagination","description":"\u003cp\u003eCombining   perspectives from both continental and analytic philosophy, this timely   volume explores how imagination today both shapes and is shaped by   technology, art and ethics.         \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImagination is one of   the most significant and broadly examined concepts in contemporary philosophy and is   frequently understood as a basic human faculty that enables complex   activities. This book shows, however, that   imagination is more than a mere enabler. Whilst imagination shapes our   experiences, it is at the same time shaped by our environments. Some of the   most creative manifestations of imagination are the result of its two-way   interaction with art or technology, or both. In short, imagination co-shapes   us.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond the   traditional perspectives of Kant and Heidegger, \u003ci\u003eThe Philosophy of Imagination: Technology, Art and Ethics \u003c\/i\u003eexamines   our dynamic relationship with imagination, from contemporary technological advancements such as AI that transform the whole ecosystem to   imagination in the context of videogames and literary fiction. Analysing   societal imagination, it addresses the relationship between the racial   imaginary and white ignorance, as well as the effects that societal   mechanisms such as lockdowns can have on our imagination.       \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking its cue from the here and now, this volume brings together leading international scholars to investigate how the concept of co-shaping allows us to see imagination and its crucial role in society in new and productive ways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57427658604888,"sku":"9781350277250","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/philosophy-of-imagination-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
