Abstract
İmgeleme ilk dönemlerden itibaren filozoflar tarafından tartışıla gelmiş, Orta Çağ‟da metafizikle ilişkilendirilmiştir. Kartezyen Düşünce‟nin etkisiyle ruhsal hayat için kullanılan bir terim olmuş, Pozitivizm sonrası duyularla sınırlandırılmıştır. 1930– 1970 yılları arası davranışçı ekol konu ile ilgili çalışmaları baskılamıştır.1960 sonunda bilişsel psikolojinin önem kazanmasıyla imgeleme hakkında çalışmalar artmıştır. İmgelemenin ortak bir tanımı yoktur. Bunun nedeni karmaşık yapısı ve araştırmacıların farklı yaklaşımlarıdır. İmgelem yetisi algı, bellek, dikkatle ilişkilidir fakat bunlardan farklı özelliklere sahiptir. Spontane, akıcı, objelerinin gerçek olmaması, yeni ve yaratıcı görsel fikirler sunması bunlardan bazılarıdır. Dinî imgeleme ailenin, sosyal çevrenin ve bireyin psikolojik özelliklerinin etkisiyle gelişir. Din ve imgelem yetisi arasında karşılıklı bir ilişki vardır. Din, imgelem yetisini uyarır buna karşılık imgelem yetisi dinî hayatı canlandırır. Dinî imgeleme pasif imgeleme olmayıp aktif bir imgelemedir. Dinin anlaşılmasına katkı sağlar. Özellikle ölüm sonrası hayat imgeleme ile daha iyi anlaşılır.
Imagination have been discussed by philosophers from the early ages of history. In the medieval thougt, a relationship between imagination and metaphysics has emerged. With the influence of Cartesian thought, Imagination was used as a term for mental life. After positivist era, imagination was restiricted to five senses. Between 1930–1970, studies of mental imagery was disregarded by behaviorist researchers. Trough end of this period, researchs focusing on mental imagery have increased due to increasing importance of the psychology of consciousness. There is not a common definition for imagination. The reason for this inconveince is that, it has complicated structure and researchers have many different approachs. Imagery ability is related to perception, memory and focus capacity however imagery has distinct particular features. Out of these distinct features being spontaneous, fastmoving, and preserving brand new creative visionary ideas and not having real objects are the most important ones. Religious imagery develops under the influence of family, social environment and personal psychological specialities. There is a two sided relationship betwen religion and imagery ability. Imagery ability allows a cognitive development in religious life and also religion suplies mental status of imagination. So religious imagery is rather an active process of imagination. In general, imagination allows better cognitive development in understanding religion. Especially, life after death can be understood better with the help of imagery.
