contents Creativity as a higher agency Kenneth Walden Philosophy and Phenomenological Research AbstractCan human agency produce things that are genuinely creative and original? Some philosophers are skeptical. Here I argue that the case of creative activity should lead us to reexamine and ultimately expand our conception of agency. When we do this, we see that rather than being incompatible with agency, creativity offers an especially robust form of agency: a form in which agents are responsible not just for token events but for the general patterns that characterize those events as forms of human activity. 10.1111/phpr.70003 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
