Ethics of Imagination ... source of inspiration

As a boy seeing Goethe's insightful ballad made into a famous cartoon that marked me truly:



Der Zauberlehrling
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
1797

Hat der alte Hexenmeister
Sich doch einmal wegbegeben!
Und nun sollen seine Geister
Auch nach meinem Willen leben.
Seine Wort und Werke
Merkt ich und den Brauch,
Und mit Geistesstärke
Tu ich Wunder auch.

Walle! walle
Manche Strecke,
Daß, zum Zwecke,
Wasser fließe
Und mit reichem, vollem Schwalle
Zu dem Bade sich ergieße.
Und nun komm, du alter Besen,
Nimm die schlechten Lumpenhüllen!
Bist schon lange Knecht gewesen:
Nun erfülle meinen Willen!
Auf zwei Beinen stehe,
Oben sei ein Kopf,
Eile nun und gehe
Mit dem Wassertopf!

Walle! walle
Manche Strecke,
Daß, zum Zwecke,
Wasser fließe
Und mit reichem, vollem Schwalle
Zu dem Bade sich ergieße.
Seht, er läuft zum Ufer nieder!
Wahrlich! ist schon an dem Flusse,
Und mit Blitzesschnelle wieder
Ist er hier mit raschem Gusse.
Schon zum zweiten Male!
Wie das Becken schwillt!
Wie sich jede Schale
Voll mit Wasser füllt!

Stehe! stehe!
Denn wir haben
Deiner Gaben
Vollgemessen! -
Ach, ich merk es! Wehe! wehe!
Hab ich doch das Wort vergessen!
Ach, das Wort, worauf am Ende
Er das wird, was er gewesen!
Ach, er läuft und bringt behende!
Wärst du doch der alte Besen!
Immer neue Güsse
Bringt er schnell herein,
Ach, und hundert Flüsse
Stürzen auf mich ein!

Nein, nicht länger
Kann ichs lassen:
Will ihn fassen!
Das ist Tücke!
Ach, nun wird mir immer bänger!
Welche Miene! welche Blicke!
O, du Ausgeburt der Hölle!
Soll das ganze Haus ersaufen?
Seh ich über jede Schwelle
Doch schon Wasserströme laufen.
Ein verruchter Besen,
Der nicht hören will!
Stock, der du gewesen,
Steh doch wieder still!

Willst am Ende
Gar nicht lassen?
Will dich fassen,
Will dich halten
Und das alte Holz behende
Mit dem scharfen Beile spalten!
Seht, da kommt er schleppend wieder!
Wie ich mich nur auf dich werfe,
Gleich, o Kobold, liegst du nieder;
Krachend trifft die glatte Schärfe.
Wahrlich! brav getroffen!
Seht, er ist entzwei!
Und nun kann ich hoffen,
Und ich atme frei!

Wehe! wehe!
Beide Teile
Stehn in Eile
Schon als Knechte
Völlig fertig in die Höhe!
Helft mir, ach! ihr hohen Mächte!
Und sie laufen! Naß und nässer
Wirds im Saal und auf den Stufen:
Welch entsetzliches Gewässer!
Herr und Meister, hör mich rufen! -
Ach, da kommt der Meister!
Herr, die Not ist groß!
Die ich rief, die Geister,
Werd ich nun nicht los.

"In die Ecke,
Besen! Besen!
Seids gewesen!
Denn als Geister
Ruft euch nur, zu seinem Zwecke,
Erst hervor der alte Meister."

...Just came in...

Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics of the imagination
Jeanne Evans


This book is now on my shelf. Last one, now to celebrate before reading some 36,000 pages. :-)

Blog site name...

A reader of my blog asked why Imagnatio was chosen as its name. I will let Michael Beaney in Thought and Experience: Themes in the Philosophy of Mind offer a brief explanation:

Etymologically, 'imagination' derives from the Latin word imaginatio, while 'fantasy' and 'fancy' derive from the ancient Greek term phantasia. In the works of Plato and Aristotle, phantasia meant the power of apprehending or experiencing phantasmata ('phantasms'). Arguably, what phantasma originally meant was an 'appearance' - an occurrence of something appearing to be such-and-such, as when the sun looks to us as being only a foot across. But even in Aristotle's work, it was also used to mean 'mental image', which is how it was subsequently understood. Phantasia came to be translated by imaginatio and phantasma by imago in Latin, preserving the etymological and conceptual connection here, although the original Greek terms were also used in their transliterated form (i.e. employing the Latin rather than Greek alphabet, as I have done here) alongside their Latin correlates. In the seventeenth century, as Latin lost its place as the official language of philosophy, the terms that replaced phantasia and imaginatio in English were 'fantasy' - or 'fancy' or 'phantasy' - and 'imagination'. In this initial period of English usage, there seems to have been no established distinction between the two terms. In his Leviathan of 1651, for example, Hobbes claimed that what 'the Latins call imagination ... the Greeks call ... fancy' (I, ii). By the end of the eighteenth century, however, the distinction between fantasy and imagination had more or less settled down into its current sense. In his Dissertations Moral and Critical of 1783, James Beattie wrote: 'According to the common use of words, Imagination and Fancy are not perfectly synonymous. They are, indeed, names for the same faculty; but the former seems to be applied to the more solemn, and the latter to the more trivial, exertions of it. A witty author is a man of lively Fancy; but a sublime poet is said to possess a vast imagination' (quoted in Engell 1981, 172).

Shalom, welcome to Imaginatio.

Greetings,
Some 25 years ago I started a research project on the ethics of imagination, but I was side tracked working in the computer industry (software testing, programming, and computer type/graphic design); hence preventing this project from completion. However, a few years ago, upon finding out my vision and my hearing will get worse (I already have a quarter of vision/hearing now.), I made a decision to finish the dream. Many of you invited to read along my journey have already empowered me to fulfill this long deferred dream. Thank you.
To those just joining in from a web search. This is a serious scholarly blog, not a place for rants, flames, or immaturity. If you want to comment or offer help, please keep my research goal in mind. I will ban those who do not respect my blog, thank you.
Each week I will try to post a summary update on my progress as I work my way though some 100 plus books and some 300 articles. The main long term plans are thus:
1. Get books and articles, done as of Dec 1.
2. Read them, 3 yrs, to start 2006.
3. Write an annotated bibliography, work on as I read.
[take a break]
4. Write a working model on imagination.
5. Read books and articles on Ethics while factoring in my work imagination.
6. Write book, "Ethics of Imagination: a Study in Prophecy."

Shalom, Andrew
