In a clear and vivid manner, the author, one of America's best professional thinkers (he is a distinguished philosopher and head of the largest department of philosophy in the United States), takes up the great themes of imagination, fantasy, remembering and perceiving. Film and architecture provide surprising material for his brilliant and useful account of basic philosophical problems, which are also major mysteries of the soul.
