| Sumario: | Our study analyzes the relationship between the imaginary / imagination
and scientific rationalism while mirroring seemingly contrasting aspects. Just as
the imaginary has its own reasoning (structures, archetypes, the capacity to
produce meaning – analyzed by Gilbert Durand, Gaston Bachelard and Northrop
Frye), rationalism is subject to its own logic (cause- effect, arguments,
deduction/ induction, etc.) which may surface in the realm of the imaginary. We
further analyze the cognitive function of the imaginary, which is at the core of
analogy-based knowledge and manifests itself through the metaphorical side of
language. Thus a subtle, yet rigorous game emerges between clarity
(characteristic to science) and ambiguity (a feature of the imaginary), between
visible and invisible, further leading towards an understanding of reality beyond
abstract rationalism which, in its turn, may lead to fiction while exploring
possible worlds. |
