This week News at Nine was joined by Dr. Matthew Dowd from the UNH Philosophy Department (COLA). Dr. Dowd is a senior lecturer for UNH with research interests in creativity.
Creativity is at the core of everything we do. Many believe that creativity is linked philosophically to fulfillment, and that it is humankind's innate purpose to be creative. Creativity is at the core of progress, advancement, invention, and innovation. Dr. Dowd studies these sentiments in both his research and classroom environments.
Listen in for an enlightening discussion of what it means to be creative, what it means to be "morally creative," the state of creativity today, and how Dr. Dowd believes that to be human is to be creative.
