2 - Imagination
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 November 2019
Summary
In this chapter I argue that imagination is the missing piece of the puzzle in the existing theories of legal cognition. At first glance, imagination seems too idiosyncratic and ephemeral to become an important part of any account of legal reasoning or argumentation. The two words used in the previous sentence are worth emphasizing: “reasoning” and “argumentation.” Neither of them can easily be associated with picturing something in one’s mind.
