 m 200\n\nCan we imagine something impossible? How do we reason from and ab
 out impossibilities? These philosophical worries have an illustrious tradi
 tion with crucial ramifications in the history of logic and science. In th
 is talk\, I explore some of this tradition’s late medieval developments.
  I focus especially on the innovative account of imaginable impossibilitie
 s (imaginabilia) articulated by Marsilius of Inghen in the second half of 
 the 14th century and further developed by his followers. On the one hand\,
  I argue that the Marsilian view of imaginabilia in natural philosophy is 
 proposed as a more general explanatory model than the traditional appeals 
 to God’s absolute power. On the other hand\, I show that Marsilius’ mo
 dal semantics can treat even the traditionally problematic absolute imposs
 ibilities as properly signifiable\, understandable\, and imaginable.\n\nEv
