15. Nature of Minds / C. Capacities of Minds / 2. Imagination
Imagination grasps abstracta, generates images, and has its own correctness conditions [Hanna]
     Full Idea: Three features of imagination are that its objects can be abstract, that it generates spatial images directly available to introspection, and its correctness conditions are not based on either efficacious causation or effective tracking.
     From: Robert Hanna (Rationality and Logic [2006], 6.6)
     A reaction: Hanna makes the imagination faculty central to our grasp of his proto-logic.
