Críticas:

Nichols's collection makes an important contribution to a growing field. It will be of particular interest to those interested in the nature of our engagement with fiction, modal epistemology, thought experiments, and the emotions. But it will also be of considerable interest to anyone interested in aesthetics or the study of the mind. (Anthony Everett, Mind Journal)

Reseña del editor:

This volume brings together specially written essays by leading researchers on the propositional imagination. This is the mental capacity we exploit when we imagine that Holmes has a bad habit or that there are zombies. It plays an essential role in philosophical theorizing, engaging with fiction, and indeed in everyday life. The Architecture of the Imagination capitalizes on recent attempts to give a cognitive account of this capacity, extending the theoretical picture and exploring the philosophical implications.
