Perspective and Metaphysical Imagination

Prospettiva e immaginazione metafisica

Paola Cantu

Résumé

The papers consider the role of imagination, and in particular of metaphysical imagination in scientific knowledge, suggesting an analogy between metaphysics and central perspective in geometry: it can be used to express by images something that cannot be fully conceived conceptually, but it contains an intrinsic tendency to justify itself on the basis of a more natural or truthful representation; the images might stimulate the active role of the subject in the representation but also tend to present themselves as the reflection of God’s eye; they might allow a recognition of the incompleteness and limitedness of the human’s point of view but also transform themselves into illusions that deceive the subject.
