DESCRIPTION:(Work with Alison Hills\, University of Oxford)\n\nWe examine 
 and reject the following claims:\n\n(RI) The process of artistic or scient
 ific creation is an exercise of the imagination\, such that more imaginati
 on (both as regards the number of new ideas their degree of originality) i
 s always more valuable (i.e. results in better works of art\, scientific t
 heories\, etc).\n\n(RII) The process of evaluation of artistic or scientif
 ic works is not per se a creative process and does not require the imagina
 tion in the same way as a creative process (and perhaps does not need it a
 t all).\n\n"Book to attend in person":https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hps-d
