Investigating the relation between imagination and embodiment, affectivity, perception, language, selfhood, and intersubjectivity, the book provides a phenomenological conception of productive imagination, which is committed to basic phenomenological principles and which is sensitive to how productive imagination has been conceptualized in the history of phenomenology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAgainst such a background, Geniusas develops a new conception of productive imagination: \u003ci\u003eIt is a basic modality of intentionality that indirectly shapes the human experience of the world by forming the contours of action, intuition, knowledge, and understanding\u003c\/i\u003e.
