to what extend is imagination valid to construct knowledge?
what is a good or bad thought?
without our imagination, nothing would exist!? or would - reason and intuition
innovations - bias? limit of mind
why and how is imagination different? - memory, environment, nature of science, epigenetic?...
to what extend can we say that stg is done with imagination? how do we know it is?
maps - fantasy
consequence: languages, cultures, laws, different perspectives?...
many things are based on imagination that are based on nothing!!!!
what is imagination?
imagination itself is a belief, but in order to be considered knowledge, it should be linked with other ways of knowing (reason)
to what extend is imagination necessary to create knowledge??
there should be a balance between imagination and knowledge
Fools act on imagination without knowledge, pedants act on knowledge without imagination.
Alfred North Whitehead
the faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses.
imagination vs creativity

imagination vs reason
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
Albert Einstein
limits
does imagination have limitations just like knowledge do?
The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
can u reach knowledge with imagination? knowledge is limited. if so, then is imagination limited?
einstein used old concepts in order to construct a new theory. he has put imagination there, and through it has expanded.

RLS 2 albert einstein
intuition
two things related to one another; a connection/relationship is established, to what extend can't these be imaginative?
goal visualization in sports - imagination and reality?
in golf and in life, many people have told me to visualize what I wanted (e.g. where to put the golf ball) and I have done it through my imagination, telling me that I would have more success
clearly, for me, imagination/visualization showed to be crucial and had an important role in developing my golf and thinking skills
however, to what extend was it valid?
imagination generated emotion and reason so that I could improve
induction fallacy - there were times it did not make a difference
stories and imagination
when I was a child, stories raised from my imagination, far away from our reality. (you can use stories or even only bigger perspective)
My imagination was broad and I was able to accept different thoughts easily, because I had not yet proposed limits to my imagination
while I grew up, I started to put limits in my imagination, and this limited my perspectives of knowledge
how do I know that?
I have realized that things that now I considered "stupid" or "non-sense" I did not earlier. I recognized the abstract things as being equal to the concrete ones, and actually my mind was more focused in the abstract than in the concrete (I found it more entertaining)
nowadays, my perception of knowledge is more limited to the concrete things than before, and this limits how I perceive and imagine the world
step back - how do we know that our imagination/knowledge is limited through our thinking? why is it?
what also limited my imagination was implying the perceptions of "good" and "bad" into my thinking. these conceptions arose from the environment I was in, and therefore my imagination is biased/limited.
therefore, imagination is able to create or limit the perception of our knowledge through the limits that we impose them
how do we know that? TO what extend? can't this be only my perspective of this situation? the limitations are that this "fact" so to say, is already limited by what I think.
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES (e.g. Angela or Lo) comparison of what I think about imagination and construction of knowledge by seeing their opinions
many people did not understand fiction because they relate imagination with reality.
without imagination, the world would not be where it is right now
Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.
bias
JKRowling imagination + emotion
the author created dementors in her book to try and explain, through her imagination, how she felt when she was depressed
imagination was in this case a mean for communicating her feelings
her feelings at that moment were something that could not be measured by science
this is the gap between diagnosed diseases and the person's feelings - they cant be exactly measured
limitations: imagination is personal and unique, therefore we may understand it wrong.
by limiting imagination, one may get to different conclusions of knowledge. to what extend can we limit imagination?

THINK HOW TO GET BACK TO DEMENTORS!!!
analogy for scientists to understand how people feel regarding mental illnesses
analogies are in their essence a
fruit of imagination
imagination vs interpretation
the great difference between both of them is that imagination does not need to be justified, while interpretations does
does this make imagination any less valid?
imagination is still the base of many
limitations
confirmation bias
