Save for a few sporadic revivals, the early interest m the scientific study of lmagmation reached a dead endThe usual explanation for this state of affairs is a reference to our madequate methodology-a statement that our present-day methods are too feeble to penetrate the complexity and too clumsy to hold down the will-o'-the-wisp nature of the phenomenon. Rather than surrender to such a defeatest explanation, we propose a bold hypothesis-a proposition more m keeping with recent critical analyses that reveal the docility of psychologists (and others)
