"Living
Forms
of
the
Imagination
is
a
compelling,
erudite
articulation
and
defense
of
the
indispensable
cognitive
value
of
the
imagination
in
the
philosophy
of
nature
and
God.
Elegantly
written,
this
book
draws
on
Platonic
and
Romantic
traditions
to
create
a
brilliant
challenge
to
contemporary,
reductive
naturalists
and
those
who,
following
Ryle,
advance
a
deflationary
account
of
the
imagination.
This
book
is
essential
reading
for
those
interested
in
the
imagination,
epistemology,
naturalism,
and
the
philosophy
of
religion."

"This is an impressively learned book. Imagination is a central component of humanity's encounter with the world. Imagination can lea to conversion of heart and empowerment for action. While the author's retrieval of Platonism and Romanticism may not answer fundamental contemporary issues in belief, it is very suggestive of new avenues of how to deal with the crisis of belief and unbelief."-Lucien J. Richard, OMI, Catholic Library World, December 2008
Mentioned in new books of the week in Times Higher Education Supplement, 24 January 2008
"rich and eloquent study" Religious studies, 2009
"Nuanced, lucid and scholarly work...this book is a welcome reminder of the full panoply of human resources for revealing God." Donald J. Dietrich, Boston College, USA
"Living Forms of the Imagination is a remarkably learned book, wide-ranging in the philosophical, literary and theological discussions it broaches..." Mark Yenson, The Way, April 2009.
"Douglas Hedley has aroused substantive and substantial expectations in his earlier books and articles. I know my own graduate students in religion and the arts to have drunk deeply from his wells, in particular his book on Coleridge. With this, his first volume in a trilogy of books on the religious imagination, he not only exacerbates those expectations but, more importantly, instaurates plenary delivery on them. Thus with this book he launches the first craft of this trilogical convoy, and what a flotilla it promises to be (perhaps, once again, Britannia rules the waves?)! One's greatest hope for a book as important as this one is that it will find, or create, competent readers...My earnest advice to the reader, in closing, is to discount this and other reviews and read Douglas Hedley's magisterial book for yourself. You will be instructed, your thought will be challenged (as has mine), and you will 'afterthink' him for years to come." -Ray L. Hart, Modern Theology, July 2010
'Overall Hedley presents an elegantly composed study which reads well and traces its argument to the conclusion that the imagination is a place to encounter both deity and humanity. The indices allow quick/easy access to the many well-informed contexts which feature brilliant individual observations. However, in my opinion, the ultimate importance of Hedley's publication can be found elsewhere. Namely, it ties in with the current discussion on Bildtheorie - the theory of images [or pictures]. There, one distinguishes between an analytical, a phenomenological and an anthropological approach.' - Malte Dominik Krueger, Theologische Literaturzeitung 135 [2010] 7/8
