CIDE DICTIONARY
imagination, n. [OE. imaginacionum, F. imagination, fr. L. imaginatio. See Imagine.].
- The imagine-making power of the mind; the power to create or reproduce ideally an object of sense previously perceived; the power to call up mental imagines. [1913 Webster]"Our simple apprehension of corporeal objects, if present, is sense; if absent, is imagination." [1913 Webster]"Imagination is of three kinds: joined with belief of that which is to come; joined with memory of that which is past; and of things present, or as if they were present." [1913 Webster]
- The representative power; the power to reconstruct or recombine the materials furnished by direct apprehension; the complex faculty usually termed the plastic or creative power; the fancy. [1913 Webster]"The imagination of common language -- the productive imagination of philosophers -- is nothing but the representative process plus the process to which I would give the name of the “comparative.”" [1913 Webster]"The power of the mind to decompose its conceptions, and to recombine the elements of them at its pleasure, is called its faculty of imagination." [1913 Webster]"The business of conception is to present us with an exact transcript of what we have felt or perceived. But we have moreover a power of modifying our conceptions, by combining the parts of different ones together, so as to form new wholes of our creation. I shall employ the word imagination to express this power." [1913 Webster]
- The power to recombine the materials furnished by experience or memory, for the accomplishment of an elevated purpose; the power of conceiving and expressing the ideal. [1913 Webster]"The lunatic, the lover, and the poet
Are of imagination all compact . . .
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven,
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name." [1913 Webster] - A mental image formed by the action of the imagination as a faculty; a conception; a notion. Shak."The same power, which we should call fancy if employed on a production of a light nature, would be dignified with the title of imagination if shown on a grander scale." [1913 Webster]
Syn. -- Conception; idea; conceit; fancy; device; origination; invention; scheme; design; purpose; contrivance.
