Imagination - Psychology of phenomenological imagination

Introduction: Arlyet Alkaim - Sartre Translation: Kamel Al-Ameri The book of imagination shows Sartre's decision to turn his back on the theories he learned, and therefore he had to instill them in his students. He knew by heart the arguments of these theories based on certain facts and the objections to these arguments based on other facts, which were identified by competing theories in one way or another: the sensory tendency of Condillac, according to which all human faculties can be produced by assembling primary sensations, and the unionist theories, starting with Hume, Stewart Mill, Taine, and so on, and all the nuances that distinguish them in their ways of perceiving the relationship between sensory impressions and states of consciousness, as well as in their ways of perceiving the laws that govern these rational theories that challenge unionism but, from Sartre's point of view, retain their spirit.
