European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract According to a widely held view both within and outside philosophy, imagination is innocent in the sense that it does not influence what we think and do. Hence, we can let our imagination wander anywhere. There are two ways of pushing back against this ‘innocence of imagination’ claim.

The determination of what is said and what is implied

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Is what is said determined by syntax, conventional meaning, and select aspects of context?

A Persisting Equivalence

Noûs, EarlyView.
