​What is the imagination really capable of?

​We often think we know ourselves. We can guess how we will act in different situations and what kinds of feelings we will have. One thing that challenges this picture is the unconscious. It houses things that we are completely clueless of. Another is imagination - our hidden power to go beyond ourselves. We value imagination because we value creativity, but we don't fully appreciate just how transformative it is. In this Philosophy Salon, we will look at how imagination works, where it can take us, and why it's a force that's at the root of everything we do.
