Your ability to model and understand the world, and to envision the future, depend on the potency of your imagination, which is cultivated by literature.

Concepts only have truth value when grounded in an aesthetic vision created by the imagination. Concepts/rationality can not ground itself, all concepts can be deflated by the same rationality with which they are formed (i.e. romantic irony or skepticism), only the aesthetic intuition is self-grounding. The cultivated imagination comes first, everything is build on the imagination, the weaker the imagination, the weaker everything constructed on it, conceptual/discursive knowledge included, is. Educating the imagination is the first and most important pedological task.
