15. Nature of Minds / C. Capacities of Minds / 2. Imagination

8094	The imagination has made more discoveries than the eye [Joubert]
	Full Idea: The imagination has made more discoveries than the eye.
	From: Joseph Joubert (Notebooks [1800], 1797)
	A reaction: As a fan of the imagination, I love this one. I suspect that imagination, which was marginalised by Descartes, is actually the single most important aspect of thought (in slugs as well as humans). Abstraction requires imagination.
