2016, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Gottfried Wilhelm Freiherr von Leibniz, Georg Ernst Stahl, The Leibniz-Stahl Controversy, page 311:Since the term 'imagination,' absolutely in a grammatical sense, means a certain, definite idea, that is, an affection of the mind, representative or implying a representation, in the same way I acknowledge that nothing physical, or even in any sense moral, could be conceived by the mind, or could be understood precisely, if not by means of a figurable example: and not only, as they say in the schools, concretely, but especially individually: for at the lowest degree, this can be done vaguely and even fictitiously by an arbitrary representation, which is nevertheless figuarable or imaginable.
