On Creativity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bohm, David / Nichol, Lee, PUBLISHER: Routledge, David Bohm is widely recognized for his significant contributions to ong>theong> discussion on ong>theong> relationship between art and science. On Creativity is a collection ong>ofong> essays by Bohm, which are all related directly to ong>theong> nature ong>ofong> creativity - primarily ong>theong> latent creativity in ong>theong> human mind, but interestingly enough, to ong>theong> creativity in nature and ong>theong> universe at large as well. A significant portion ong>ofong> ong>theong> 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, ong>theong>ories and hypoong>theong>ses are perceived, rationalized and axiomatized. However, ong>theong> novelty and appeal ong>ofong> Bohm's views ong>ofong> ong>theong>se processes is ong>theong> suggestion that ong>theong> work ong>ofong> ong>theong> visual artist is remarkably similar to that ong>ofong> ong>theong> scientist. He explores ong>theong>se similarities at length and even goes so far as to suggest that ong>theong> creative processes ong>ofong> ong>theong> scientist and ong>theong> artist are at work in every person. On Creativity is a fascinating read for Bohm aficionados and for those interested in exploring ong>theong> relation between creativity in art and science.
