About this title

Synopsis

This book assembles a wide varity of views on creativity --its nature, methods of teaching creativity, problems and possibilities of teaching creativity in American education, historical perspectives on creativity, and suggestions for enhancing one's creativity through writing and through the study of literature, cognitive science, rhetoric, and psychology. It is an interdisciplinary study, drawing on the diverse fields that make up the liberal arts and sciences to better understand the nature of the creative process and of the challenges faced by educators who would expand the creative powers of their students and of themselves. The book also contains new ideas on the cognitive basis for creativity.
