Abstract
This chapter explores Friedrich Nietzsche’s account of imagination from the perspective of his distinctive version of pragmatism. The role assigned to the imagination in Kant’s epistemology and subsequent Romantic efforts to expand the scope of Kantian imagination, provides historical and conceptual context for the main argument: namely, that according to Nietzsche, all conscious experience possesses an imaginative quality explicable by what is termed its “theatrical” structure. This structure first becomes apparent when the often-overlooked linguistic dimension of Nietzsche’s pragmatism is highlighted and the inherent theatricality of consciousness is magnified in the process of dream construction. But while dream consciousness heightens and intensifies the theatricality of normal waking consciousness, the most fascinating corroborating evidence is offered by the deliberately designed performances of ancient Greek tragedies. Thus, the chapter concludes with the suggestion that the unique complexity of theater aesthetics can be most productively accommodated within Nietzsche’s pragmatic account of imagination.

Analytic, Continental and Multicultural Approaches to a New Field of Philosophy
The essays in The Philosophy of Spirituality explore a new field in philosophy. Until recently, most philosophers in the analytic and continental Western traditions treated spirituality as a religious concept. Any non-religious spirituality tended to be neglected or dismissed as irremediably vague. Here, from various philosophical and cultural perspectives, it is addressed as a subject of independent interest.
This is a philosophical response to increasing numbers of spiritual but not religious people inhabiting secular societies and the heightened interaction between a multitude of spiritual traditions in a globalized age. A provocative array of approaches (African, Indigenous, Indian, Stoic, and Sufic perspectives, as well as Western analytic and continental views) offer fresh insights, many articulated by emerging voices.
Contributors are Mariapaola Bergomi, Moses Biney, Christopher Braddock, Drew Chastain, Kerem Eksen, Nikolay Milkov, Roderick Nicholls, Jerry Piven, Heather Salazar, Eric Steinhart, Richard White, Mark Wynn and Eric Yang.
