Stretching the Limits of Productive Imagination 
Studies in Kantianism, Phenomenology and Hermeneutics

How has the concept of productive imagination been developed in post-Kantian philosophy? This important and innovative volume explores this question, with particular focus on hermeneutics, phenomenology and neo-Kantianism.The essays in this collection demonstrate that imagination is productive not only because it fabricates non-existent objects, but also because it shapes human experience and co-determines the meaning of the experienced world. The authors show how imagination forms experience at the kinaesthetic, pre-linguistic, poetic, historical, artistic, social and political levels.The volume offers both a thematic and a historical overview of productive imagination understood as Kant originally wanted us to understand it.
