Abstract: (81 Views)
Background: Creativity and imagination are fundamental elements in the process of artistic creation. These two concepts have attracted the attention of many thinkers throughout the history of philosophical and psychological thought. Among these thinkers, Henry Corbin and Paul Ricoeur, as two prominent philosophers, have each analyzed and interpreted these concepts in distinct ways.
Aims: this research was to examine and analyze the views of two prominent philosophers, Henry Corbin and Paul Ricoeur, on creativity and imagination, and the role of these concepts in understanding the artistic work.
Methods: The present study was a narrative review. Using keywords such as creativity, imagination, artistic work, Paul Ricoeur, Henry Corbin, philosophical perspective, searches were conducted in specialized databases including SID, Magiran, PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct. A total of 23 articles were retrieved, and after reviewing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 articles, including those not directly related to the subject and those with duplicate findings, were excluded.
Results: Corbin introduces imagination as an "independent realm" situated between the sensible world and the intelligible world. According to Corbin, creativity in artistic processes stems from the artist's ability to access the realm of imagination and transform spiritual experiences and concepts into artistic works. Ricoeur views creativity through the lens of narrative construction and interpretation, believing that creativity in art results from the artist's ability to construct and reconstruct narratives that meaningfully depict human experiences and emotions.
Conclusion: they connection between imagination, creativity, and spirituality.can lead to a better understanding of the spiritual and cultural role of imagination in human societies. These perspectives allow for a deeper comprehension of the profound relationship between cultural and artistic dimensions of humanity and aid in the development of concepts such as creativity, spirituality, and art across various human domains.
