About This Book

A systematic psychological analysis treats constructive imagination as a common mental function, identifying intellectual, emotional, unconscious, organic, and unifying factors. It explains mechanisms such as analogy, personification, transformation, motor elements in imagery, and inspired states. It traces development from mythic origins to artistic, scientific, and practical invention and shows how needs and affective tendencies produce new combinations. The work is organized into analytical, genetic, and concrete sections that examine constituent processes, developmental pathways, and principal types of imaginative activity.
