Abstract: Abstract From some great protagonists of the philosophical tradition to some contemporary tentative approaches in cognitive sciences and neurosciences, I present some grounds to further understand what imagination is, what it does, how it possibly works and where it may be located in our nervous systems. Such an approach follows the imperative to correlate the precious insights coming from Philosophy, with those of the sciences that nowadays study our perceptual and cognitive apparatus from a mainly physiological and bio-chemical perspective. I believe that such correlation, and even cooperation, is vital to a comprehensive understanding of this elusive thing, imagination.
