This volume is an essential text for anyone interested in understanding how the human imagination works. With this careful translation, the editors have given us a necessary piece of Ricoeur's towering contributions to the Western understanding of the creative imagination. -- John Arthos Jr., Indiana University This eagerly awaited book invites the reader on a fascinating dive into the depths of human imagination. Tracing a philosophical history from Aristotle and Kant to Husserl and Wittgenstein, Ricoeur offers a unique take on the metaphorical power of fiction in poetry and painting. An indispensable book for anyone interested in the sheer pleasure of invention. -- Richard Kearney, Boston College This articulately edited series of lectures reveals key insights into the fruitfulness of Ricoeur's wide-ranging engagement with different intellectual traditions, including phenomenology, analytic philosophy, linguistics, and poetics. -- Roger W. H. Savage, University California-Los Angeles
