| summary | **Summary:** - **Sensory Imagining:** This refers to mentally visualizing scenes or experiences, evoking associated sensations like smells, sounds, or textures (e.g., imagining rain falling on a city street, feeling it suppress traffic noise, smelling wet tarmac). - **Views on Sensory Imagining:** Philosophers and psychologists often compare sensory imagining to perception, suggesting it mirrors both the subjective experience ("phenomenology") and functional role of sensing and perceiving. - **Emotional Response to Fiction:** The author recalls feeling genuine sadness when reading about Little Nell's death in "The Old Curiosity Shop," challenging Walton's view that such emotional responses aren't real because they're triggered by fiction. - **Author's Main Point:** In evaluating Walton's perspective on emotional reactions to fictional narratives, it's essential not to dismiss the validity of these feelings entirely. Even if they're like bathwater (not "real" in the same way emotions triggered by real-life events are), they still hold value and should not be discarded ("throwing the baby out with the bathwater"). |
