Imagination plays a central role in key debates across a range of philosophical subjects including philosophy of mind, aesthetics, ethics, and epistemology. What is imagination, and how can we best account for its nature? How does imagination relate to other mental states like belief, desire, perception, and memory? What role does it play in epistemic, creative, and ethical contexts?

In this excellent and wide-ranging survey of imagination, Amy Kind addresses these questions and more, with a focus on key topics including:

three leading theories of imagination
the importance of imagination for decision-making, planning, and knowledge acquisition
the connection between imagination and creativity
the role of imagination in our engagement with fiction, and several puzzles to which this engagement gives rise
how imagination contributes to our understanding of others
the ethical assessment of imaginative activities, and particularly the activity of fantasizing
The future of imagination.

With the addition of chapter summaries, annotated further reading, and a glossary of key terms, Imagination is essential reading not only for those studying imagination for the first time but also for more advanced students and researchers in philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology, aesthetics, and ethics.
