Addison's "Pleasures of the Imagination"

Matthew Nunez 1B

Addison: [The Pleasures of the Imagination]

Addison finds that through the imagination, we can experience pleasures that go beyond our five senses. What Addison is trying to say is that people have a inside-self. This was a revolutionary idea that the power of the imagination could be cultivated, projected, and strengthened. This ideal of Addison is a example for the argument that each man and woman is, by nature, a individual self.
