About this episode

The episode discusses the role of imagination in finding truth through the lens of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's ideas.

In this episode, the Pugsters look at the role of imagination in finding truth. Starting with Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s definition of imagination, the conversation explores the role of the Logos in creating and sustaining the world. For Coleridge, it is our primary imagination that sees and understands the words of the Logos in creation; the secondary imagination works from the primary imagination to create poems and other imaginative works. The guys move on from there to talk about the limits of reason and alternate ways of approaching knowledge beyond those accepted by modernity.
