1 Imagination is the idea wherewith the mind 2 contemplates a thing as present (II. xvii. note); yet this idea 3 indicates rather the present disposition of the human body than 4 the nature of the external thing (II. xvi. Coroll. ii.). 5 Therefore emotion (see general Def. of Emotions) is imagination, 6 in so far as it indicates the present disposition of the body; 7 therefore (V. xxi.) the mind is, only while the body endures, 8 subject to emotions which are attributable to passions.
