is imagination more imporatant than knowledge?

Question

a debate can be either for or against

Answer 1

i think the world has a messed up view on knowledge, they think education is everything....for me, imagination is way more important, but its different for every person. i know that i'll never have a job that requires much knowledge like from a university, but the world still needs doctors and lawyers

Answer 2

Imagination is a destination while the knowledge is a channel or a way to reach there. To achieve a task both are importent. For Example Many peopeles like Wright brothers, has imagined for flew in the sky. But the Wright brothers, using there brain/knowledge had achieved the task first and succeed in making a plane.

Answer 3

Absolutely, if no one had any imagination the world would not progress. It's because of imagination that new ideas are born. But knowledge to put your imaginative ideas to practical use is a must. I say imagination.

Answer 4

The two are both very important, but i would say it's a 60/40 proportion in favor of knowledge, because if you don't have the knowledge, you can't put your creativity to good use.

Answer 5

Imagination is important but you need knowledge to make your imagination a real thing. You can have wonderful ideas how to design something, but you need you knowledge to know if they are possible in real life.

Answer 6

i disagree with the dude before me...i reckon it should be 60/40 for creativity because without the creativity, you'll have nothing to do with the knowledge- no way to make new things or anything... but that is such a cool question to think about now...
