hmm.. can i clarify something? Since imagination enable knower to conceptualize what is not present to the senses (Hume), how can one make sense of the value of the knowledge created?

Hey haha could you enlighten me about deeper and long lasting reality with respect to knowledge created by imagination?

Any interesting counter arguments that can be made? hmm... like imagination allows us to visualize what is not present to our senses like Einstein relativity.. yet since no one can see it, we cannot proof it... Any takers

Hmm agreed but can historical accounts and evidence be considered knowledge in the fear place? Any takers haha

Einstein once said imagination is more impt than knowledge because imagination encircles the world and encompasses all that we will ever know. Any counter claims people? I'm personally not very comfortable with this claim .

Einstein once said "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand. " Hmmm... its easy to accept such a claim in the area of natural sci...
