Beginning with a brief historic overview of the thought of various philosophical traditions on imagination, this book presents a contemporary Philosophy of Information discourse on what human imagination and imaging are in fact. The focus is laid on the inform-perform and perform-inform dynamic continuum that all of us inevitably apply due to our nature.
