{"product_id":"9783838213507","title":"The Poetic Apriori: Philosophical Imagination in a Meaningful Universe","description":"Theories about the nature and function of philosophical imagination depend on our understanding of what kind of universe we inhabit. Some theories are compelling if the universe is meaningful as a whole, but they make no sense if it is not. Raymond C. Barfield discusses conditions that would be necessary if the universe is meaningful as a whole, and then develops a theory of philosophical imagination in light of that starting place. The theory moves toward the conclusion that if the universe is meaningful as a whole, the concept of the analogia entis, the analogy of being, illuminates philosophical imagination in a way that changes our understanding of its function and potential, along with the value of its discoveries through the things it creates.","brand":"ibidem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65442177876317,"sku":null,"price":20.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9783838213507.jpg?v=1789129182","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9783838213507","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
