C’è una corrente, spesso sotterranea, della filosofia moderna, che recupera istanze del pensiero tardoantico e medievale per assegnare alla "phantasia" (o "imaginatio") un ruolo determinante nella produzione del ragionamento filosofico e scientifico. I teorici dell’arte del Quattrocento, Cusano, Leibniz, Wolff e Kant sono solo alcune delle tappe di questa traiettoria, ciascuna a proprio modo esemplare di una funzione immaginativa capace di potenziare la ricchezza e la "flexibilitas" dello spazio mentale e di portare il sapere umano a forzare continuamente i propri limiti. Su di esse si concentra questo lavoro, che ha l’intento di ricostruire, sulle linee di una "Kulturwissenschaft," l’articolata genealogia di quella funzione dell’anima cieca eppure indispensabile (l’immaginazione) senza la quale, come dice Kant, non sarebbe possibile avere alcuna conoscenza. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… In early modern philosophy there is a current, often underground, which recovers instances of late ancient and medieval thought to assign "phantasia" (or "imaginatio") a decisive role in the production of philosophical and scientific reasoning. The fifteenth-century art theorists, Cusano, Leibniz, Wolff and Kant are just some of the stages of this trajectory, each in its own way exemplary of an imaginative function capable of enhancing the richness and "flexibilitas" of mental space and of bringing the human knowledge to continually push its limits. This work focuses on these authors, with the intention of reconstructing, along the lines of a "Kulturwissenschaft," the articulated genealogy of that blind yet indispensable function of the soul (the imagination) without which - as Kant said - it would not be possible to have any knowledge.]
