We are pleased to announce a call for paper for 10th Annual Research Seminar of Doctoral School of Philosophy, University of Liège. The seminar will take place from April 25th to 29th, 2016, at the University of Liège (Belgium) and will focus on the topic of imagination taken as a mental function which is different from both perception and conception.
The seminar aims at investigating features and functions of imagination which separate it from both perception and conception. It will particularly be relevant to:
- finely analyze the act of imagination (and its elements/components) on the ground of descriptive psychology, by contrasting it with perception, meaning intention, as well as with other mental functions such as memory;
- study the specific role of the act of imagination (by contrast with sense experience and intellectual conception) within knowledge, but also within political and/or artistic representation and creativity.
