COR 3750 The Creative Experience
This course offers students a practical, step-by-step introduction to the philosophical study of the creative experience. Students will examine various theories of creativity as they have been developed by influential psychologists, philosophers and artists in the field of creativity studies, and will have the opportunity to examine how these theories are exemplified in the lives of some of the greatest writers, artists, musicians and literary figures of the past half-century. Among the 20th century artists that will be used to illustrate creative theory in practice are Bob Dylan, John Lennon, the Beat Generation writers and some of the most interesting young poets of our own time. Core courses are not open to Freshmen or Sophomores, except for associate degree candidates.
