Creativity is nowadays used to predicate many different sorts of things. Although in philosophy it is mostly discussed with respect to the arts, one can talk about it in sciences, sports, entrepreneurship, politics, pedagogy, or in more mundane situations as with culinary or humorous creativity.

The purpose of this entry is (i) to answer such questions by analyzing philosophical and psychological studies on creativity and (ii) to give a characterization of what creativity really is.
