Related to the historical study of philosophical psychology, Richard of St. Victor?s Theory of Imagination acknowledges that the faculty of imagination, being a necessary precondition for human reasoning and a link between soul and body, plays an important role in Richard?s understanding of the human soul. Richard also deals with the interpretation of biblical language, metaphors, rhetoric, and the possibility of creative imagination. Considering all these aspects of the imagination in Richard?s texts improves our understanding of his theological epistemology and sheds new light on the theory of the imagination in the history of medieval philosophy in general. 410 0$aInvestigating medieval philosophy ;$vVolume 8. 606 $aContemplation 606 $aMysticism 615 0$aContemplation. 615 0$aMysticism. 676 $a128/.3 700 $aPalme?n$b Ritva$01705101 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810095303321 996 $aRichard of St. Victor's theory of imagination$94091572 997 $aUNINA
