October 28th-30th: The Philosophy of Creativity Conference
What is creativity? How does it happen? How is it that creativity is manifest in discovery as well as invention, in science as well as art? In what ways might an audience participate in creating a work of art? What role does creativity play in the construction of the self?
Join us along with a distinguished cast of philosophers, cognitive scientists, and artists to discuss these and other questions as we explore this exciting and relatively new field of philosophy.
For more information, please see the conference website.
