The Image of Thought: Literature as a way of thinking

在某种程度上，艺术提供重要思维方式的观点最近已经淡出人们的视野。如果不能认识到艺术作为一种独特的思维模式的价值，挑战我们的思考和感受，就会使社会变得贫瘠。学术活动可以建立基础，使重新认识这种价值成为可能。因此，学者们也有责任与大众交流。为此目的，该项目将包括努力制作报纸评论，宣传通过学术研究形成的思想，并通过组织公共论坛促进文学的作用。

The idea that the arts offer important ways of thinking has, to an extent, recently fallen from view. A failure to recognise the value of the arts as distinct modes of thought, which challenge us to think and feel, impoverishes the community. Scholarly activity can build foundations upon which renewed recognition of this value becomes possible. So too, academics have a duty to communicate with the general community. To this end, this project will include the endeavour to produce newspaper reviews propagating ideas developed through scholarship, and the promotion of the role of literature through the organization of public forums.
