A proper understanding of imagination and reason
Imagination is the organ of meaning while reason is the natural organ of truth. Meaning is the antecedent condition of both truth and falsehood, making imagination the precondition for all knowing and discourse, including philosophy and science. Both art and science require imagination and reason, but they find different things meaningful - science values quantity, while art and humanities value quality, personality, and purpose. Each engages in reasonable discourse within their respective domains.
