"Casey's work is doubly valuable--for its major substantive contribution to our understanding of a significant mental activity, as well as for its exemplary presentation of the method of phenomenological analysis" --Contemporary Psychology "... an important addition to phenomenological philosophy and to the humanities generally." --Choice "This scrupulous, lucid study is destined to become a touchstone for all future writings on imagination." --Library Journal " ... deliberately and consistently phenomenological, oriented throughout to the basically intentional character of experience and disciplines by the requirement of proceeding by way of concrete description... an exceptionally well-written work." --International Philosophical Quarterly
