Summary: Creativity and ethics-two golden eggs

Abstract

The quote above is taken from the novel The Vanishing (later adapted into a successful Dutch film and less successful American film). The main character, Saskia, describes her recurring dream of loneliness. Academia can tend toward such isolation, with different disciplines and topics staying within their own” golden eggs” of discourse. One of the goals of a volume such as this one is to force two” golden eggs” to collide by asking scholars from the fields of both creativity and ethics to consider how these topics might be related.
