How does one study creativity in a scientific manner, what are the relevant data and methods, and how do we conceptualize the knowledge object of this science? Going all the way back to Aristotle, the author penetrates different layers of creativity until reaching its basic, summarizing structure.
This book studies creativity in its own right in the search for a creativity science. If we assume that creativity can best be described by constraint theory, the complexity and paradoxes of creativity can be reduced by dividing it into manageable sections. The model is tested and evidenced by numerous historical cases of pioneering work within the three intellectual fields: science, art, and technology. The model guides non-specialists from the many disciplines studying creativity and demonstrates the first principles of creativity science. Going all the way back to Aristotle, the author makes the basic ideas of the original founder of creativity science accessible and up to date with current research.

Feiwel Kupferberg is Senior Professor in the Department of Culture, Language and Media at Malmö University, Sweden, and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Sociology and Social Work at Aalborg University, Denmark.
