  • Essay / On Images - 2687

    On ImagesConcrete images are like images in the imagination of the mind that have been transferred from real objects through the eyes. Abstract images also exist in the imagination, but are not easy to describe or communicate. The two images interact in various ways as a person experiences emotional, dream, and pure thought states of consciousness. Despite the interaction, the two types of images do not merge or merge into a third type of image as a graduation between the two. Concrete images change, sometimes radically. They never become abstract images, no matter how distorted they may be. Abstractions are somewhat assumed and exist as spontaneous and sometimes irrational images in the mind. Light, reason, infinity, and nothing are examples of abstract images that cannot be accurately represented visually. Images take on different meanings depending on language, death, prayer, society or politics; but the two types remain distinct. All human beings experience images both concrete and abstract. However, the level of ability to think abstractly varies from person to person. For Aristotle, the most important and pleasant sense is the sense of sight. (1) The human eye receives an image using light. Viewing the physical world outside of us occurs when light reflects off objects, passes through the eyes, and presents an image to the mind. It is believed that these images are not unique to any one person because they are communicated and described in both directions, thereby weakening the struggle of the solipsist. In this article, abstract and concrete images will be defined through a discussion of imagination and the mind. Apparently the mind works in such a way that many images occur without any mechanistic equation telling us how. The imagination is familiar, as are the images, but it is the wonder and challenge of how they interact that deepens our understanding. We argue here that the boundary between the two types of images is clear and obvious, and does not constitute a graduation. The images are either concrete or abstract, without any intermediary. By concrete image we mean a kind of image that is present when we see something or when we close our eyes and remember it. The image seems to be present as a form external to ourselves, simultaneously in the object and in our mind. It is an image that has color and real properties like shape and texture..
