Creativity In Science Chance Logic Genius And Zeitgeist Dean Keith Simonton by Dean Keith Simonton 9780521835794, 0521835798 instant download after payment.

Psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, historians - and even
scientists themselves - have often tried to decipher the basis for
creativity in science. Some have attributed creativity to a special
logic, the so-called scientific method, whereas others have pointed to
the inspirations of genius or to the inevitable workings of the
zeitgeist. Finally, some have viewed scientific breakthroughs as the
product of chance, as witnessed in the numerous episodes of serendipity.
Too often these four alternative interpretations are seen as mutually
exclusive. Yet the central thesis of this book is that the chance,
logic, genius, and zeitgeist perspectives can be integrated into a
single coherent theory of creativity in science. But for this
integration to succeed, change must be elevated to the status of primary
cause. Logic, genius and the zeitgeist still have significant roles to
play but mainly operate insofar as they enhance, or constrain the
operation of a chance combinatorial process.
