Annotation

The article is devoted to the study of psychological imagination, which is activated in the process of creating the characters of a literary work, as well as in the process of perception of another person. We consider imagination as a cognitive ability, which is part of consciousness and has the power to influence the psychological reality of the person. On the one hand, imagination is a link between perception and a holistic image of reality, on the other hand, it allows to go beyond one’s own personality and see the diversity of manifestation of another way of existence. The concept of nuclear affects, created at the crossroads of psychiatry, psychology and philosophy, is taken as the basis of the analysis, based on real psychiatric practice. According to this concept, there are three different moduses of human existence, each of which unlocks reality in its own way. And each person possesses only one of the three modes of existence, which limits his perception of the world. Imagination, however, as a possibility of transcendence, makes it possible to transcend one’s psychological limitations and literally “see” the essential qualities of another, different from one’s mode of existence. Moreover, such imagination becomes psychological insofar as it seeks to understand, through feeling, the nuclear structure of another person or the hero of a literary work. In this paper, the concept of nuclear affects allows us to articulate the significance of psychological imagination as the ability to see the integrity of human nature. Using the example of the creation of the characters in F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel The Brothers Karamazov, the work of psychological imagination is demonstrated as a moment of psychological completion of the characters’ personalities, which corresponds to the function of intuition. It is intuition as a boundary ability between the conscious and the unconscious that is included in the creative process of the work of the psychological imagination. In this way we get a hybrid intuitive ability to penetrate into the essential, nuclear structure of human psyche.
