In the Prologue, the Introduction and the Epilogue, where he treats imagination's 'practical function' in the Critique of Pure Reason and the Critique of Judgment, Freydberg's fragmentary discussion of topics seems to be a part of his deliberate effort to let the centrality of imagination in Kant's work 'be manifest' as opposed to demonstrated. Concerning Heidegger's influence on Freydberg's style, the terminology of 'disclosure,' 'exhibiting imagination,' imagination as 'hidden' but 'having always already been present,' and 'becoming manifest' is widespread in his book. Heidegger's influence on the content of Freydberg's book is evident in the significance Freydberg attributes to Kant's claim that imagination is a 'common, but to us unknown root' of the two stems of human cognition, sensibility and understanding (A15, B29). Heidegger's influence on Freydberg's work can be discerned both with respect to its content and its style. Finally, in the Epilogue Freydberg offers some insights on how the theme of imagination's 'practical function' could also be developed in relation to Kant's reflective judgment. The main body of the text develops the theme of imagination's 'practical function' in the second Critique.

3) can already be identified in the first Critique. The aim of the Prologue and the Introduction is to suggest that the role of imagination in its 'practical function' (p. The structure of Freydberg's work reflects his interest in the unity of the Kantian system. Third, guided by Kant's claims about the primacy of the practical, Freydberg argues that 'the Critique of Practical Reason provides the linchpin of that unity' (p. Freydberg argues that Kant's system owes its unity to the central role of imagination in Kant's philosophy as a whole. Second, following Fichte, Schelling, and more recently Heidegger, he seeks to provide an account of the unity of the Kantian system. First, Freydberg argues that even though the significance of imagination for practical reason is never mentioned by Kant, the role of this faculty in Kant's Critique of Practical Reason is central. In his book Imagination in Kant's Critique of Practical Reason, Freydberg offers three provocative arguments.
