philosophy and those interested in exploring the role and relevance

'The 11 essays of The Imagination in German Idealism and
Romanticism represent the first systematic attempt to provide
a coherent picture … of the concept of imagination across some of
the most influential years of the history of philosophy. This
volume plots a course through the most significant figures of
German Idealism and Romanticism … toward a variety of themes which
can be said to mirror the variety of roles that the imagination
plays.' Luigi Filieri, Journal of Transcendental Philosophy
