The essays in this anthology explore many of [creativity's] aspects, presenting familiar philosophical issues in less familiar contexts, which is an encouragement to take a fresh look at those issues and perhaps rethink our opinions. Creativity is looked at in relation to literature, music, audience response, character, imagination, the unconscious, and artificial intelligence ... the compilers of the anthology are to be congratulated on its range and variety.
