Some theories are compelling if the universe is meaningful as a whole, but they make no sense if it is not. Raymond C. Barfield discusses conditions that would be necessary if the universe is meaningful as a whole, and then develops a theory of philosophical imagination in light of that starting place. The theory moves toward the conclusion that if the universe is meaningful as a whole, the concept of the \u003ci\u003eanalogia entis\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eanalogy of being\u003c\/i\u003e, illuminates philosophical imagination in a way that changes our understanding of its function and potential, along with the value of its discoveries through the things it creates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ibidem Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47889240522903,"sku":"9783838213507","price":3016.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783838213507.webp?v=1781175166","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-poetic-apriori-philosophical-imagination-in-a-meaningful-universe-9783838213507","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
