Philosophical Imaginary by Michele Le Doeuff
The Philosophical Imaginary teaches us how to read philosophy afresh. Focusing on central, but often undiscussed, images, Le Doeuff's patient, perspicacious, and always brilliant readings show us how to uncover the political unconscious at work in great philosophy. Le Doeuff's contribution to philosophy and feminism is unequalled. This book is a classic.-

"Le Doeuff dares to challenge the idea that philosophy can be separated from myth, literature and 'the image'. She shows not only that philosophers do 'think in images', but that there exists a specifically 'philosophical imaginary'. Her readings of Descartes, Kant, More and others show how acknowledging this reliance on 'the image' has the capacity to enrich philosophy by opening it up to continuities with everyday life. The manner in which these essays treat important ethical, epistemological and political questions has led the way for the radical reform of the practice of philosophy."--Moira Gatens
