Imagination and Postmodernity: Studies in the Thought of Paul Ricoeur

Autor Patrick L. Bourgeois
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 apr 2017
Imagination and Postmodernity addresses the role of the imagination in philosophy today. By focusing on philosophy at the boundary of reason with constant reference to Kant's view of the boundary-limit, it is possible to advance a viable alternative to deconstructing the imagination. Patrick L. Bourgeois puts forth the claim that by refocusing the imagination in the postmodern conversation, a far-reaching contemporary position can be reached that reestablishes the position of the humanities as central against the anti-humanism of deconstruction. This work addresses some of the challenges and problems that emerge in conflicting positions within contemporary philosophy, including a concentration on the role of the imagination in the work of Paul Ricoeur in contrast and in opposition to its role in such postmodern thinkers as Derrida and Lyotard. This treatment requires going back to the role of the imagination in the period of Kant and his immediate followers in order to clarify the various ways of seeing the imagination then and now, for the role today is anticipated in the nineteenth century. Finally, this work, as a creative appropriation of the position of Paul Ricoeur, presents a role for the imagination today that is more encompassing than most thinkers allow for.

Recenzii

Bourgeois proposes a trenchant rethinking of the postmodern imagination, guided by Ricoeur but also passing through a diverse post-Kantian landscape of German idealism, pragmatism, phenomenology, and deconstructionism. The result is an ambitious new philosophy of the imagination at the boundary-limits of reason and an opening to the possibility of an invigorated postmodern humanism.
