AB - Creativity is often defined as ability to produce novel and valuable outcomes. It is also claimed that the product, not the process, should be the focus when analyzing this concept. One flaw that has been identified in these positions is that the concept of creativity cannot be properly analyzed without including conditions concerning the agent. However, it is my contention that we also need to rethink the value condition for creativity. Surely our intuition supports that creativity is related with value, but despite the general acknowledgment, what we should be considering as the conceptual element of creativity may not be the value of what it produces. I argue for showing that the consequentialist view concerning the value of creativity generates counter-intuitive results. As an alternative, I show my support for a kind of virtue theoretic understanding on creativity. I think this is a right perspective to accommodate both the agency requirement and our intuitive beliefs of how the nature of value in creativity should be understood.
