On the nature of reality | Iain McGilchrist and Rowan Williams
Philosophy For Our Times
Imagination and Reality
- Imagination is not something that takes us away from reality, but rather our only chance of fully entering into it.
- Coleridge distinguished between primary and secondary imagination.
- Primary imagination is the ability to feel our way towards and bring into being something that is only a potential, like a picture coming into focus.
- This is something we all do, not just poets and artists.
- We create the world and have a role in discovering the nature of reality.
