Indicating possible errors in the thinking of political categories (it is mistaken to confuse the term “imagination” and “fantasy” or implement Mills’s sociological imagination theory), the author emphasisies ambiguous nature of that presupposition. Politological imagination is related to different dimensions of reality: real order of reality and cognitive order, but the main focus will remain on cognitive aspect, not creation of political world. It has a quasi-heuristic dimension, but it does not implicate a specific research base. It is dependent on the scope of imagination (it includes historicism, dialectics, anthropological and critical factors) and its strength (it is related to the researcher’s interference in the socio-political world).}, doi = {10.4467/25440845TP.18.007.8442}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/teoria-polityki/article/miedzy-porzadkami-o-transgenicznosc-wyobrazni-politologicznej} }
