The
Philoctetes Center for the Multidisciplinary
Study of the Imagination was established to
promote an integrated, interdisciplinary
approach to the understanding of creativity and
the imaginative process.
The Center creates and supports projects, public
forums, research and information gathering which
foster cooperation and dialogue among diverse
disciplines, while seeking to create public
awareness of these efforts.
To achieve its mission the Center holds
roundtable discussions with participants from
various fields (neuroscience, psychology,
mathematics, psychoanalysis, humanities and art,
philosophy and theology), offers a forum for
presentation of works in progress, and is
developing a data base on imagination with the
aim of becoming a clearing house for all
available literature on the subject.
