djh responds: Well thought *can* be imagination but it isn't *always* imagination. Dictionary: Imagination - "The faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses." Sometimes we can think about external objects which *are* external and present to the sense and so we do not imagine them. Like value for instance. Do you 'imagine' value exists or does it exist before you imagine it?
