Resumo
This paper aims to discuss the role of imagination in the formation of abstract concepts in
the languages. Lakoff and Johnson ([1980] 2002) have the experientialist proposal. This proposal
conceives a imaginative rationality. The paper studies how the philosophers of empiricist and
rationalist orientation to see the place of the body, reason and imagination in the possibility of
knowledge and naming of things in the world. Based on the book The body in the mind: the bodily
bases of meaning, imagination, and reason, by Mark Johnson (1987), the notion of imagination in
Kant is addressed in order to examine the philosophical explanation for the genesis of abstract
metaphorical concepts.
