Imagination is a faculty of the unreasoning part of the soul. It is
through the organs of sense that it is brought into action, and it is
spoken of as sensation. And further, what is imagined and perceived
is that which comes within the scope of the faculty of imagination and
sensation. For example, the sense of sight is the visual faculty
itself, but the object of sight is that which comes within the scope of
the sense of sight, such as a stone or any other such object.
Further, an imagination is an affection of the unreasoning part of the
soul which is occasioned by some object acting upon the sensation. But
an appearance is an empty affection of the unreasoning part of the
soul, not occasioned by any object acting upon the sensation.
Moreover the organ of imagination is the anterior ventricle of the
brain.
