Les métiers de l’imagination dans l’Examen de ingenios para las ciencias de Huarte de San Juan

The Examen de ingenios para las ciencias by Huarte de San Juan is primarily known for proposing a way to distinguish between types of intelligence. The aim of this work is to highlight the radical originality of the anthropology underpinning this system by showing how Huarte disrupts the way humans were seen and their way of being in the world by rethinking the role and the function of imagination and the range of professions associated with it.
