Opis

Gregory J. Laughery explores the perennial struggle to understand imagination; a notable trademark of many poets, philosophers, and theologians throughout the centuries, and right up to the present. Ancient thinkers and bards disputed the functional capacity of imagination to create or connect to the world, while contemporary writers and theorists ponder its contribution to making or discovering meaning. Over the course of time, efforts to figure out whether imagination is destructive or useful are unresolved. One of the key reasons for writing this book is to engage this controversy in an accessible way, especially for artists, students, and pastors. The monumental questions of who am I, what is real, and the role of imagination, remain vigorously debated today. In Living Imagination, Laughery offers us a fantastic account of this evolving story, proposing compelling insights along the way.
