Creativity explores the moral dimensions of creativity in science
in a systematic and comprehensive way. A work of applied
philosophy, professional ethics, and philosophy of science, the
book argues that scientific creativity often constitutes moral
creativity_the production of new and morally variable outcomes. At
the same time, creative ambitions have a dark side that can lead to
professional misconduct and harmful effects on society and the
environment. In this work, creativity is generally defined as the
development of new and valuable outcomes such as significant
truths, illuminating explanations, or useful technological
products. Virtue and accompanying ideals are emphasized as a moral
framework. Intellectual virtues, such as love of truth,
intellectual honesty, and intellectual courage, are themselves
moral virtues. Further moral topics concerning scientific
creativity are explored: serendipity and its connection with moral
luck, the paradoxes of moral motivation, scientific misconduct
arising from unbalanced creative ambitions, forbidden knowledge,
creative teaching and leadership in science, and the role of
scientific creativity in good lives.
