Abstract

In Imagination and creative thinking, Amy Kind leads readers on a journey through two of the most fascinating, and at the same time intricate, subjects in the philosophy of mind: imagination and creativity. This paper retraces this journey, providing some points for reflection around key arguments proposed by Kind on the nature of the two concepts and on their connection. I will expand on some of the many questions that Kind addresses in the book, showing how her answers can help thinkers and practitioners to navigate the future of creativity and imagination.
