EC Psychology And Psychiatry

The article examines the nature of creativity. The author criticizes generalizing hypotheses of creativity that are not based on the analysis of specific different types of creativity. It is impossible, he believes, to get to the essence of this phenomenon without first analyzing specific types of creativity, of which there are quite a lot. It is emphasized that such an analysis cannot be carried out without generalizing hypotheses about the nature of creativity, of which there will also be several. But they should be understood precisely as hypotheses, and not as the already comprehended “essence-truth” of creativity. In the concept of creativity proposed by the author, two levels are distinguished and characterized: external, which is the comprehension and assessment of the creativity of a certain individual (he created the “new”, “original”, is the “initiator of discursiveness”, “predetermined the development of a whole direction”, “our everything” and etc.), and the internal plan - the actual description of the process and mechanism of creativity.
