Barfield Raymond C.. The Poetic Apriori: Philosophical Imagination in a Meaningful Universe. Ibidem Press,2020. — 172 p.. 2020

In this book I argue that many of our most valuable inquiries are acts of philosophical imagination, that the artifacts of the imagination make most sense in a universe that is meaningful as a whole, and that only a created universe has meaning as a whole. My arguments do not prove that the universe is meaningful as a whole. They only explore ways the imagination might be characterized were the universe to be meaningful as a whole. Apart from the assumption that the universe is created, some theories of the imagination make no sense whatsoever. But if the universe is created, these theories might illuminate the status and function of the imagination, along with the relationship between imagination and our experience of beauty, morality, metaphysics, and science.
