Peripatetic Imagination, Ishraqi Imagination, and Creativity

Aristotleʹs definition of imagination is the beginning of philosophersʹ conceptualizations of this issue. Farabi, Ibn Sina, and Suhrawardi have greatly extended this concept. Farabi defines imagination with three types of function: preserving the pictures of sensibles, manipulating them, and imitations of sensibles and intelligibles by pictures. Ibn Sina conceptualizes what Farabi called imagination and imaginal faculty in four distinct faculties called the faculty of imagination, imaginal faculty. the faculty of estimate, and memory. Suhrawardi believes that imaginal perception is a kind of lshraqi presential knowledge and clarifies it based on the observation of suspending images. The most perfect theology of emagination for the conceptualization of creativity is that of farabi. based on which the four different levels of the creativity of imagination are definable. however these level are also realied in ishraqi or illiuminalive imagination. which differs from perpatetic imagination only in the way it is clarified
