Theme: The creative being – the science of becoming
Peter Gärdenfors, Professor in Cognitive Science, Department of Philosophy, Lund University. Humans are the meaning-seeking creatures. We have rich inner worlds that allow us to reason, remember, fantasize and create. A central question is how the inner world can be cultivated so that it improves understanding and creativity.
The keynote is followed by a panel discussion together with Mats Malm, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy and Niklas Brismar Pålsson, Teacher in Swedish and Philosophy, moderated by Ronald A. Beghetto, Pinnacle West Presidential Chair and Professor, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Arizona State University.
Recorded at the conference Rethinking Creativity in Education – A Solution for 21st Century Challenges? arranged by Berättarministeriet and Karolinska Institutet, 20-21 November 2024.
