- Summary:
- Creativity pervades human life. It is the mark of individuality, the vehicle of self-expression, and the engine of progress in every human endeavour. It also raises a wealth of neglected and yet evocative philosophical questions. This book takes up these questions and, in doing so, illustrates the value of interdisciplinary exchange.
