Reviews

'At the end of this wonderful journey through the theories of imagination and the various types of imaginaries, one is certainly fascinated by a polysemic view of the concept of imagination. Moser and Sukla have managed to find the best way to organise and channel a multitude of expert opinions towards a single goal: the revival of interest in the subject of imagination and its profound meaning in human life.' - Carlo Alessandro Caccia, in: enthymema (2021).
