Two images can be useful in giving an idea of how philosophical imagination works. One is the exploration of connections, where the explorer, much like someone trying to weave a net in order to catch as much fish as possible, will connect and intertwine ideas, notions, speculations, hypotheses in order to offer a new perspective on ourselves and on the world. The second image is the cultivation of memories, where the subject is aware that philosophical imagination is nurtured by the past and its complex tradition. If the explorer of connections is fascinated by the idea of being able to say the last word on a subject, the person who cultivates memories will remind him of the inevitable fate of the last word, destined to be turned into the one before last. In philosophy, as in science and in art, imagination and research are endless.
