This is a volume on the concepts, theories, models and social consequences of creativity. It contains articles by well-known cognitive scientists, economists, mathematicians, philosophers and psychologists.
Birthed from a workshop Swedish Institute for Future Studies, Venice, 1994, at which one of the contributors "...asserted that not reading textbooks might be the most creativity enhancing technology in education," he and 11 cohorts paradoxically proceed to write essays that may well find use in college seminars in cognitive psychology, education, and philosophy for their delving into the concepts, theories, models, and social consequences of creativity. Factors teased apart by explorers of the elusive ecology of both minor and major league creativity include: motivation, novelty, intelligence, metaphorical thinking, and conducive environments.
