Imagination et infini : critique de l’imagination artificielle (Yuk Hui)
Partant des Lettres sur l’éducation esthétique de l’homme de Schiller et discutant les thèses de Kant sur l’esthétique, nous proposerons de problématiser la relation entre imagination et imagination artificielle au regard d’une quatrième synthèse qui serait celle de l’imagination transcendantale ou synthèse prothétique. C’est alors la notion d’infini qui permettrait de distinguer les deux imaginations, infini qui se développe en Occident et en Orient de façon distincte.
