Abstract

In this article we deal with the problem of imagination from Immanuel Kant’s selected texts. This is a comparative analysis between two pre-critical essays and the two first editions of the Critique of Pure Reason which were published by the philosopher. We discussed the different approaches and comprehensions about the concept of imagination and its activities in the texts above, by making a debate with two philosophers (Cornelius Castoriadis and Roger Verneaux). We also discussed about the philosophical stance and attitude that they are observed in Kant's works, which are in according to the history of Philosophy in the West. Through this discussion, we elaborated a comprehensive diagram about the problem of the imagination that it denies some dichotomy in order to admit the constitutive duplicity of the imagination and it also recognizes the imaginative activity in the scopes of knowledge, aesthetic and politics.
