Abstract:
This dissertation examines the work of the British philosopher and novelist Iris Murdoch. A centre concern of this work is a question Murdoch poses more than once: ‘How can we make ourselves morally better?” This question is understood to initiate a form of philosophy which is critical of much of its tradition and its understanding of reasoning and argument. It also recognises its dependence on other disciplines. Murdoch develops this form of philosophy in reply to the cultural phenomenon of secularisation. In the absence of God, she attributes tasks to philosophy formerly performed by religio

Abstract:
This thesis tracks the melodramatic imagination of Tracey Moffatt's art. Whereas many of Moffatt's photographic and filmic works employ conventions of melodrama, the critical literature on her art has barely engaged with this important aspect of her practice. The thesis redresses this gap. I argue that a particular understanding of melodrama that constructs inauthe.ntic and indeterminate realities crucially shapes Moffatt's art. Building on seminal works from literature and film studies, as well as psychoanalysis I develop a framework for the detailed examination of melodrama in Moffatt's art,

Abstract:
The project was informed by non-rational modes of perception which explored the matrix of dream, imagination, my body and the viewer. The material from this matrix was brought together and translated into artworks through the use of every day materials, techniques and procedures. The resulting artwork offered an experience in the form of an installation which included projected images, aural landscapes, tactile surfaces and spatial constructions.

Abstract:
This study is about how the research of monsters and contemporary artists who create monster-related work can help create monsters from my own imagination using the process of synthesis. In it I discuss how the monsters I created in my artwork tell a story. I also talk about how this study can be used to relate art to other fields of study such as English and History, and the idea of Visual Culture.

Abstract:
This work explores the concept of empathy, what empathy is and why it is important in relation to the field of education. The idea of a compassionate empathy, in which one moves from understanding to deeply caring, is examined as an essential component of creating a more just world. The ability to empathize is based on recognition and identification with another's feelings, beliefs or experience. In order to develop this type of compassionate knowing, it is important that a strong imagination be present. Simply put, without imagination empathy cannot exist. As with compassionate empathy, so to

Além do campo da arte, a imaginação envolve também o campo das disciplinas humanas, como a história, a antropologia, a política e inclusive a teologia. Pela sua estreita ligação com processos ditos físicos, a imaginação também intervém nas classificações das capacidades e funções físicas do cérebro. A discussão sobre a imaginação gravita entre
