Creativity Honors

Catalog description

An interdisciplinary engagement with creative writing and philosophical questions around creation and human creativity. Questions can include: What is creativity? Does it differ from creation? How? Does human art create or only imitate the creations of God or nature? How has art, whether literary, visual, or otherwise, been practiced and understood? Can everyone be, or learn to be, creative? What stimulates, what obstructs creativity? Is creativity a human virtue? Why is it so valued in society today? Can individuals alone aspire to creativity, or can communities also be creative? More broadly, can we even explain human creativity?
