这一元素探讨了想象力和创造性思维的本质，以理解它们之间的关系，并了解它们在从艺术，音乐和文学到技术，医学和科学的广泛活动中的作用。集中在当代哲学文献，它将采取几个相互关联的问题：什么是想象力，以及它如何融入心灵的认知结构？什么是创造力？创造力需要想象力吗？想象力需要创造力吗？一个人是天生就有想象力或没有想象力（同样，也有创造力或没有创造力），还是想象力和创造力是可以培养的？最后，想象力和创造力是人类独有的能力，还是人工智能系统等非生物实体可以拥有的？
This Element explores the nature of both imagination and creative thinking in an effort to understand the relation between them and also to understand their role in the vast array of activities in which they are typically implicated, from art, music, and literature to technology, medicine, and science. Focusing on the contemporary philosophical literature, it will take up several interrelated questions: What is imagination, and how does it fit into the cognitive architecture of the mind? What is creativity? Is imagination required for creativity? Is creativity required for imagination? Is a person simply born either imaginative or not (and likewise, either creative or not), or are imagination and creativity skills that can be cultivated? And finally, are imagination and creativity uniquely human capacities, or can they be had by nonbiological entities such as AI systems?
