Cognitive practice of creative imagination

This article examines the concept of cognitive practice of creative imagination. The authors define creativity as a source of conceptual attitude to the study of the world. Cognitive practice involves conceptualization – the embryo (lat. conceptum) of philosophical ideas about the imagination as the “border” between sensory knowledge and rationality. The instrument for connecting feeling and mind is the transcendental scheme, the function of which is the conceptual transformation of images. Transformation of images is one of the creative possibilities of the imagination. Cognitive practice connects the exploration of creative imagination with the creative power inherent in nature. Creativity is the result of the internal state of the system. Cognitive practice includes creativity in the aspect of self-assembly at various levels of self-organization of a nonlinear system. Cognitive practice is revealed in the universal construction of conceptual mechanisms with the help of creative imagination. Imagination transforms meanings, without which an individual’s participation in science is impossible. The cognitive practice of a scientist is the use of not only empirical knowledge, but also the use of intuition data, the construction of imaginary situations of thought experiments. Cognitive practice is revealed in the universal construction of conceptual mechanisms with the help of creative imagination. The main conclusions of this study are: Human consciousness is a nonlinear, self-reproducing, self-organizing system; self-organization includes the movement of images of consciousness. The thought-image goes beyond the limits of human imagination. The most important cognitive tool for imaginative practice is language; language transforms information in a special way of creative capture. The transformation of meanings through the imagination of a person of science occurs in the process of a thought experiment based on the subjective dimension of both science and its individual figure.
