Custom essays on “Imaginary places”

I would like to talk about imaginary communities in this paragraph as a component connected with the notion “imaginary places”. Famous American researcher Benedict Anderson named nations the “imaginary associations”. “Imaginary” – as their representatives, not knowing the most compatriots, even never meeting them; however feel the involvement to them. By other words, «imaginary associations» exist in imagination of their members. Like imaginary places, we cannot visit in real life and touch to its things and ground where they based. Imagination is an interesting notion, because it allows us to create something new and important, or unimportant, but pleasant… it depends from our necessities and wishes. Role of imagination in the process of creative cognition it is possible to define as one of methods of the use of present for a man knowledge. The functions of imagination are probed in process on row procedures of scientific cognition: hypothesis, evident design, and mental experiment. The purpose of imagination is ability to create new images. It gives birth from necessities to correlate accessible to the man with that it is not given to him straight. It is understandable that for research of cognitive role of imagination it is necessary to find out its features. Complication of exposure of specific of imagination is conditioned that it closely interlaces with all types of cognition. This circumstance is reason of origin of tendency to the denial of existence of imagination as the special form of reflection. To decide this problem, it is necessary to expose actual nature of imagination. From all above stated determinations evidently, that the substantial sign of imagination is consider ability of subject to create new images. Nevertheless, it is not enough, because it is impossible then to conduct distinctions between imagination and thought. Creation of new knowledge and concepts in the field of logical thought can take place and without participation of imagination.

Thus, we should take into account circumstance that imagination is the creation of new images, and the transformation of experience, and what transformation is accomplished at organic unity perceptible and rational.
I think that imagination as a main aspect of imaginary places creation should be discussed with more details. We will consider specific forms of activity that is revealed in which perceptible reflection of reality, and also that role which execute feeling in the processes of forming of appearances. Very often feelings examined straight as valuable appearance of reality. Feelings – primary appearances of certain properties of reality – straight or indirectly join in forming of all (including generalized) mental appearances. Imagination, creating evident appearances, absorbs in itself feelings. However, at it imagination leans against their semantic moment. Therefore, imagination physiological does not depend on activity of sense organs. Imagination – is product of transformation foremost of functional descriptions reflections. Perception is appearance of object overall, in it already very full semantic descriptions of subjectivity open up.
In conclusion, it is necessary to say that 21st Americans need imaginary places, as the World Trade Center site in New York City, because imaginary places allow people to be involved in imaginary activity and it also allows Americans to be involved in the history of their country. In my own point of view, it is necessary for all people to remember what had happened in their country and I believe that such imaginary place also can help to avoid some catastrophes in future. People who created above stated imaginary place should continue their activity with other types of them, because we need such places and their existence will improve our life some day.
