Question

Which subject helps develop creativity and imagination?

• A. Mathematics
• B. Poetry
• C. Philosophy
• D. Logic

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Poetry

“Poetry maketh a full man.”

And earlier:

“Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.”

• Bacon believed poetry elevates the mind, allowing it to imagine, create, and explore beyond reality.

• It nurtures wit, imaginative thought, and the ability to think in metaphors — key aspects of creativity.
