内容説明

This volume is concerned with the relation between imagination and the understanding of the world - both the world of science and history, and that of values. By means of imagination, it is possible to grasp shared values that are enduring, and this depends on a sense of continuity with the past and the future. An imaginative realization of belonging not only to the past, but to a future that will continue after the individual is dead has implications which are explored, for religion and morality, as well as for education.

内容説明

All religion and much philosophy has been concerned with the contrast between the ephemeral and the eternal. Human beings have always sought ways to overcome time, and to prove that death is not the end. This book consists then in an exploration of certain closely related ideas: personal identity, time, history and our commitment to the future, and the role of imagination in life.
