The idolatrous and mythopoietic imagination that is described in La Scienza Nuova (New Science) has much in common with the "pagan" mind (that is to say the mind subjugated to passions, sensitivity and fantasy that is described in La Recherche (The Search after Truth). Some of the themes discussed here are myth, the metaphoric nature of thought, idolatry, the formation of mentality, the relationships which bind passions and representations and the association of ideas through iconic images. Also discussed are other themes such as the structure of society and imagination, imitation, persuasion and social relationships, communication within society between illustrious imaginations. Moreover in Malebranche has been found a complex and complete theory of imaginative universals (universali fantastici).Strumenti per la didattica e la ricerca (Florence, Italy) ;86.Imagination (Philosophy)Open AccessFilosofiastoria della filosofiaGiambattista VicoFilosofia del linguaggioNicolas MalebrancheImagination (Philosophy)195Fabiani Paolo1968-,284899Pinton Giorgio A.ItFiCItFiCAuAdUSAUkMaJRUBOOK9910130491503321The philosophy of the imagination in Vico and Malebranche2117038UNINA
