2d. PHANTASY (φαντασία).--This term is employed to describe the power which the mind possesses of imagining or representing whatever has once been the object of sensation. This may be done involuntarily as "in dreams, disease, and hallucination," 537 or voluntarily, as in reminiscence. Φαντάσµατα are the images, the life-pictures (ζωγράφηµα) of sensible things which are present to the mind, even when no external object is present to the sense.
