Emotion as Meaning: The Literary Case for How We Imagine

By Keith Opdahl

Emotion as Meaning offers a new model of the mind based upon a new understanding of emotion. It resolves the debate between the imagists and the propositionalists by tracing the translation of language into vicarious experience, showing that the mind represents the imagined world by means of not only image and idea, but emotion.
