Resumen: For the common thinking of our time, imagination is the result of a random process. However, another concept of imagination is possible and necessary. Imagination is the great means of mankind sapiens to relate to nature and even to the Universe. It is governed by laws, which are the laws of the great human evolution. And its structure is not alien to the laws that govern nature and the Universe. This conception of imagination emanates from a theoretical and methodological framework. That framework is Big History. This superdiscipline counts only three decades. The humanities must connect with this discipline in order to respond to the great challenge of conceiving a global consciousness.
