Abstract

This paper will present a somewhat counter-intuitive argument on the way we may take imagination seriously in our educational practice; I will argue that the development of students' imaginative capacities is likely to be done by intensive study of specific details, rather than by so-called imaginative activities that are fun but lack rigor and content.
