Contemporary psychology has studied the purely reproductive imagination with
great eagerness and success. The works on the different image-groups—visual,
auditory, tactile, motor—are known to everyone, and form a collection of
inquiries solidly based on subjective and objective observation, on
pathological facts and laboratory experiments. The study of the creative or
constructive imagination, on the other hand, has been almost entirely
neglected.
The constructive imagination is a faculty that in the course of ages has
undergone a reduction — or at least, some profound changes. So, for reasons
indicated later on, the mythic activity has been taken in this work as the
central point of our topic, as the primitive and typical form out of which the
greater number of the others have arisen. The creative power is there shown
entirely unconfined, freed from all hindrance, careless of the possible and
the impossible; in a pure state, unadulterated by the opposing influence of
imitation, of ratiocination, of the knowledge of natural laws and their
uniformity.
