On Creativity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bohm, David / Nichol, Lee, PUBLISHER: Routledge, David Bohm is widely recognized for his significant contributions to the discussion on the relationship between art and science. On Creativity is a ong>collectionong> ong>ofong> essays by Bohm, which are all related directly to the nature ong>ofong> creativity - primarily the latent creativity in the human mind, but interestingly enough, to the creativity in nature and the universe at large as well. A significant portion ong>ofong> the material draws overtly from Bohm's perceptions as a practising scientist - his notions ong>ofong> what underlies a paradigm shift, or how laws ong>ofong> nature, theories and hypotheses are perceived, rationalized and axiomatized. However, the novelty and appeal ong>ofong> Bohm's views ong>ofong> these processes is the suggestion that the work ong>ofong> the visual artist is remarkably similar to that ong>ofong> the scientist. He explores these similarities at length and even goes so far as to suggest that the creative processes ong>ofong> the scientist and the artist are at work in every person. On Creativity is a fascinating read for Bohm aficionados and for those interested in exploring the relation between creativity in art and science.
