The imaginary is not imagination, because it is not personal and not located in the mind. (Verran, p.37) It is not something a person calls upon by creative cognitive capacity. The imaginary rather refers to a collective process of “figuring” the world.
The imaginary is not imagination, because it is not personal and not located in the mind. (![Verran, p.37](bib:acd60323-8616-421c-814e-042469b457b4)) It is not something a person calls upon by creative cognitive capacity. The imaginary rather refers to a collective process of “figuring” the world.
Verran specifically talks about the modern figuring of the world, where a “figure” can be, for instance, a “feature of the physical matter”. Such a figure has become a foundational unit of universal western epistemology. Verran shows how we parse all modes of abstraction or scientific logic we encounter with this figure, thus remaking them in the image of the western episteme. We can easily add here the figuring of the world in terms of time, money, liberty, autonomy, agency, etc.
