‘Immensely learned and
ambitious…seam-bursting eclecticism and polymathic brio… This is by any
standards a significant book and its author deserves high praise.’ Literary ReviewTo
imagine – to see that which is not there – is the startling ability
that has fuelled human development and innovation through the centuries.
As a species we stand alone in our remarkable capacity to refashion the
world after the pictures in our minds.Traversing the realms of
science, politics, religion, culture, philosophy and history, Felipe
Fernandez-Armesto reveals the thrilling and disquieting tales of our
imaginative leaps. Through groundbreaking insights in cognitive science,
he explores how and why we have ideas in the first place, providing a
tantalising glimpse into who we are and what we might yet accomplish.
Fernandez-Armesto shows that bad ideas are often more influential than
good ones; that the oldest recoverable thoughts include some of the
best; that ideas of Western origin often issued from exchanges with the
wider world; and that the pace of innovative thinking is under threat.
