Description

This is a reading of an important philosophical theme: the imagination. Focusing on Kant and Levinas, the author aims to show readers that despite the different treatments they accord to the imagination, there is much to be gained from comparing these two key thinkers. From Kant, Llewelyn shows how the imagination is the common root of all understanding. He contrasts this with the thought of Emmanuel Levinas, for whom the imagination plays an ambivalent role both as necessary for and a threat to recognition of the other. Llewelyn also introduces the importance of the work of Heidegger Schelling, Hegel, Arendt and Derrida on the imagination and what this work can tell us about the relationship between the imagination and ethics, aesthetics and literature.

Author Biography:

John Llewellyn is formerly Reader in Philosophy at Edinburgh University. hew is the author of the acclaimed Emmanuel Levinas: The Genealogy of Ethics, also published by Routledge.
