Kant's Critical Imagination: The Logic of Schematism (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781399554855)

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.
