ABSTRACT
In the remainder of the essay I shall discuss imaging—and imagination—in the light of each of the two essential ingredients which I have said Wittgenstein requires of a grasp of mental terminology: distinctions in experience and contexts of importance. That they are essential I shall not dispute. What I find profoundly unsatisfactory in Wittgenstein's remarks on the nature of mind is his view, implicit in the comment that grammar tells us what kind of object anything is, as to what constitutes a context of importance. But we will come to that in the final chapter. Here I shall pursue a line of inquiry about imagination strictly in the spirit of at least the first ingredient, with its stress on the need of a phenomenological base for our concepts of experience.
