Creativity And Aesthetic Theory eBook

This book provides a critical, systematic-analytical, and detailed analysis of creativity in art with special emphasis on the activity of artistic creation and the process of aesthetic perception. Consciously dismissed from the realm of aesthetic discourse during the past century, the book argues that the study of creativity is a primary task of aesthetic theory; understanding its dynamics, source, and the conditions under which it happens is a necessary condition for an adequate analysis of the essential nature of the artistic and the aesthetic.
