It demonstrates how these medieval Jewish thinkers engaged with Arabic-Aristotelian psychology, specifically with regard to imagination and its role in cognition. Dianna Lynn Roberts-Zauderer reconstructs the process by which metaphoric language is taken up by the imagination and the role of imagination in rational thought. If imagination is a necessary component of thinking, how is Maimonides’ idea of pure intellectual thought possible? An examination of select passages in the .Guide., in both Judeo-Arabic and translation, shows how Maimonides’ attitude towards imagination develops, and how translations contribute to a bifurcation of reason and imagination that does not acknowledge the nuances of the original text. Finally, the author shows how Falaquera’s poetics forges a new direction for thinking about imagination. . | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | maimonides; Aristotle; medieval thought; biblical poetics; Andalus; Andalusī | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-29422-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-29424-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-29422-9 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
