Though imagination has long been invoked in contexts of modal knowledge, in recent years philosophers have begun to explore its capacity to play an epistemic role in a variety of other contexts as well. In this collection, the contributors address an assortment of issues relating to epistemic uses of imagination, and in particular, they take up the ways in which our imaginings must be constrained so as to justify beliefs and give rise to knowledge. These constraints are explored across several different contexts in which imagination is appealed to for justification, namely reasoning, modality and modal knowledge, thought experiments, and knowledge of self and others. Taken as a whole, the contributions in this volume break new ground in explicating when and how imagination can be epistemically useful. Epistemic Uses of Imagination will be of interest to scholars and advanced students who are working on imagination, as well as those working more broadly in epistemology, aesthetics, and philosophy of mind.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aPhilosophy of mind2bicssc 7aPhilosophy: epistemology & theory of knowledge2bicssc  aEpistemology, philosophy of imagination1 aBadura, Christopher4oth1 aKind, Amy4edt1 aKind, Amy4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/9080270zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92601d92601
