Where do the images in our imagination come from? These images, Eva Brann reminds us, are not what they themselves display. They feign or imitate or copy what they seem to stand for. If philosophy begins in wonder, then all who have wondered about these images of ours--their nature, their meaning, their untouchable yet odd presence to us--have been lured to think philosophically. To a consideration of the nature of these images Ms. Brann turns and returns, using words, their etymology and their capacity to prompt image making, in her adventure in tracking down the ultimate source of inner images.
