{"product_id":"the-imaginary-a-phenomenological-psychology-of-the-imagination-9780415287555","title":"The Imaginary: A Phenomenological Psychology of the Imagination","description":"First published in 1940, Sartre's \u003cem\u003eThe Imaginary\u003c\/em\u003e is a cornerstone of his philosophy. Sartre had become acquainted with the philosophy of Edmund Husserl in Berlin and was fascinated by his idea of the intentionality of consciousness as a key to the puzzle of existence. \u003cbr\u003e Against this background, \u003cem\u003eThe Imaginary\u003c\/em\u003e crystallized Sartre's worldview and artistic vision. Here he presented the first extended examination of the concepts of nothingness and freedom, both of which are derived from the ability of consciousness to imagine objects both as they are and as they are not. These ideas would drive Sartre's existentialism and his entire theory of human freedom, laying the foundation for his masterwork \u003cem\u003eBeing and Nothingness\u003c\/em\u003e three years later. This new translation by Jonathan Webber rectifies flaws in the terminology of the first translation and recaptures the essence of Sartre's phenomenology. Webber's perceptive new introduction helps to decipher this challenging, seminal work, placing it in the context of the author's work and the history of philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Paul Sartre, Revised Arlette Elkaim-Sartre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.62w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415287555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJonathan Webber\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Sheffield and a Research Associate of the Forum for European Philosophy.
