Imagination, Transformation und die Entstehung des Neuen

The 12 interdisciplinary essays in this volume investigate the role of the imagination in the rise of modernity during the process of antiquity’s transformation. Two essential connections between imagination and transformation form the basis of inquiry. While it is possible to read today’s understanding of imagination as the outcome of a transformation of antiquity, imagination also represents a key force in fueling the transformation process.
