This collection of six lucid and invigorating essays, with the most famous being "In Plato's Cave", make up a deep exploration of how the image has affected society.

Senator and Mrs. Lieberman were interviewed by Rabbi David Woznica of the Stephen S. Wise Temple in Los Angeles.

In the realm of psychology, the concept of imagination has often lingered in a semi-mythological state, evading clear scientific understanding. Traditionally viewed as an elusive quality reserved for the geniuses of society, imagination has been shrouded in mystique. Yet, as M. Ribot masterfully articulates, this notion is misleading.

The key distinction lies not in the existence of ...
