AB - The present era can be characterized in two ways: with reference to the form of civilization, the era is a ‘digital civilization age’, whereas with respect to the form of society, it is a ‘multi-cultural society’. According to Alvin Toffler, we are, through the First and the Second Wave Society, on the way to the Third Wave Society featuring the culmination of digital civilization. In the mean time, we see the advent of the multi-cultural society that has been brought about by the fact that people from the different, diverse cultural areas intermingle and live together in one society. As time goes by, these tendencies will continue to increase.
Thus considered, we have to find a new way that can contribute to both the harmonious reconciliation of people who come from different cultures and the creative enhancement of their own lives. In this regard we count for humanities, especially drawing more attention to the humanistic imagination than to the human faculties of sensation, understanding, and reason. So we strive to pin down exactly what imagination is (chiefly by means of considering some distinguished philosophers’ conceptions of it), how our life is affected by distorted imagination, and what the good way of using the imaginative power would be like. We attempt to clarify the meaning of the humanistic imagination as a ground for constructing the new humanities and a methodology for generating a new way of living in the multi-cultural age.
