Imagination as the productive faculty for "creating another nature…"
pp. 442-450
Abstract
In the section (§ 49) of the Critique of Judgment which he entitles The faculties of the mind which constitute genius", Kant writes that "The Imagination (as a productive faculty) is very powerful in creating another nature, as it were, out of the material that actual nature gives it." What the Productive Imagination creates, he adds, 'surpasses nature."
