| Imagination: Imagination (German „Einbildungsraft“) in philosophy is the ability to imagine things that are not directly perceived. It enables us to develop new ideas, create art and solve complex problems. Philosophers have considered the imagination as both a source of creativity and deception and have investigated its role in the acquisition of knowledge.
