中文摘要：

意象与思维的关系研究大致可以分为以笛卡尔为代表的“完全割裂”观、以休谟为代表的既强调二者属不同范畴又不得不承认思维还原于意象的折衷观点,以及梅耶松所认为的意象与思维是整体、统一的观点。从哲学、认知科学以及心理学的综合角度来看,思维与意象是相互蕴含、彼此激荡、相互孕育、相辅相成的。

英文摘要：

Hitherto studies of the relation between imagery and thinking fall roughly into three groups. One is the concept of “totally separation” represented by Descartes, one is the eclecticism represented by Hume who emphasizes separation of the two categories while admitting that thinking can be reduced to imagery, and the other represented by Meyerson who believes the unification and integration of imagery and thinking. In a perspective comprehensive of philosophy, psychology and cognitive science, thinking and imagery is mutually inclusive, interactive, mutually nurturing and complementary.
