In an essay on education, the poet Coleridge argues for the special cultivation of three faculties in children: memory, imagination, and judgment. He emphasizes the importance of not forcibly exciting judgment too early while noting our inclination towards selfish ends if the memory and imagination are not well formed to support judgment. What role do these three faculties play within the mimetic form? Does the order Coleridge assigns to each align with the progression one follows in a lesson? What relationship does memory, imagination, and judgment bear with the logos?
