Creativity 101
By: Kaufman, James C. (ed.)
Published by: Springer Publishing Company

Creativity 101 is full of keen and illuminating insight. And not incidentally, it is written with creative flair and great elegance. This ornithologist can sing.". -- Robert Olen Butler, Author, A Good. Scent from a Strange Mountain,. Winner of the 1993 Pulitzer Prize in. Fiction. When you think of a creative person, who do you conjure up? What do you think of when you think of a creative product or activity? What exactly is creativity? Is it possible to find creativity in different pockets and nooks of our culture?. However you think of creativity - whether you think of creativity - it is most likely different from how your neighbor thinks of it. There are many different ways in which someone can be creative, and there are almost as many different ways that people try to measure creativity. With this book, Dr. James C. Kaufman presents a brief and lively introduction to the field of creativity. Beginning with a historical overview of what creativity is and how it is defined, this innovative book explores the concept of creativity, its origins, and applications. Kaufman focuses on what he calls the "Four P's": person, product, process, and press. He also tackles four ongoing debates and research areas:.:.; The question of whether creativity is domain-general or domain-specific.; How creativity corresponds to different constructs such as personality, motivation, and intelligence.; The relationship between creativity and mental illness.; How creativity might (or might not) improve the guidance, selection, or hiring process. more...

Origins of Genius
By: Simonton, Dean Keith
Published by: Oxford University Press (US)

How can we account for the sudden appearance of such dazzling artists and scientists as Mozart, Shakespeare, Darwin, or Einstein? How can we define such genius? What conditions or personality traits seem to produce exceptionally creative people? Is the association between genius and madness really just a myth? These and many other questions are brilliantly illuminated in The Origins of Genius. Dean Simonton convincingly argues that creativity can best be understood as a Darwinian process of variation and selection. The artist or scientist generates a wealth of ideas, and then subjects these ideas to aesthetic or scientific judgment, selecting only those that have the best chance to survive and reproduce. Indeed, the true test of genius is the ability to bequeath an impressive and influential body of work to future generations. Simonton draws on the latest research into creativity and explores such topics as the personality type of the genius, whether genius is genetic or produced by environment and education, the links between genius and mental illness (Darwin himself was emotionally and mentally unwell), the high incidence of childhood trauma, especially loss of a parent, amongst Nobel Prize winners, the importance of unconscious incubation in creative problem-solving, and much more. Simonton substantiates his theory by examining and quoting from the work of such eminent figures as Henri Poincare, W. H. Auden, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Charles Darwin, Niels Bohr, and many others. For anyone intrigued by the spectacular feats of the human mind, The Origins of Genius offers a revolutionary new way of understanding the very nature of creativity.  more...

The Artful Mind
By: Turner, Mark (ed.)
Published by: Oxford University Press, USA

All normal human beings alive in the last fifty thousand years appear to have possessed, in Mark Turner's phrase, "irrepressibly artful minds." Cognitively modern minds produced a staggering list of behavioral singularities--science, religion, mathematics, language, advanced tool use, decorative dress, dance, culture, art--that seems to indicate a mysterious and unexplained discontinuity between us and all other living things. This brute fact gives rise to some tantalizing questions: How did the artful mind emerge? What are the basic mental operations that make art possible for us now, and how do they operate? These are the questions that occupy the distinguished contributors to this volume, which emerged from a year-long Getty-funded research project hosted by the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford. These scholars bring to bear a range of disciplinary and cross-disciplinary perspectives on the relationship between art (broadly conceived), the mind, and the brain. Together they hope to provide directions for a new field of research that can play a significant role in answering the great riddle of human singularity. more...
