"Thinking and Imagination" makes a fundamental contribution to the understanding of the image as a new cultural environment and as the place where the knowledge of late-modern life is shaped. Developing critically Goethe's notion of morphology, the image is interpreted as both a knot of relations and the unavoidable presupposition and catalyst of concepts. The image is not the pure mirroring of data, but is form, a way of structuring chaos in order to give meaning to the world and events not only in the field of visual perception but also in art and science.
