"Creativity and Morality summarizes and integrates research on creativity used to achieve bad or immoral ends. It includes the use of deception, novel ideas to commit wrongdoings across contexts, such as in organizations, the classroom, and terrorism. Morality will be discussed from an individual perspective and relative to broader sociocultural norms that allow people to believe actions are justified. Chapters will explore this research from an interdisciplinary perspective including from psychology, philosophy, media studies, aesthetics, and ethics"-- Back cover.
