| summary | A key notion in many discussions on imagination is that of imagining something “from the inside”. Although imagining from the inside can be intuitively interpreted as imagining by taking the stance of the subject who fixes the “point of view” or perspective within the imaginative scene, this notion deserves much more attention, since it can yield different and more technical meanings. In this talk I shall disentangle four readings of that phrase, which I think often overlap and are even confused in discussions about the ways in which imagination can be “from the inside”. First, “imagining from the inside” can be interpreted as involving the perspective of an experience (hence its phenomenological aspect) in a broad sense. Second, that phrase may refer to the involvement of an internal, rather than external, experiential perspective. Third, “imagining from the inside” can be seen as a specific way of self-involvement in imagination, namely what has been called “implicit de se imagination” (Recanati 2007) or “subjective imagination” (Vendler 1984). Fourth, that phrase can be tied to imagining being in someone else’s situation (Deonna & Nanay 2011), i.e. what Recanati (2007) labels “quasi-de se” imagination. |
