From the Back Cover
Dimensions of Creativity brings together original articles that draw on a range of disciplines - from the history and sociology of science, psychology, philosophy, and artificial intelligence - to ask how creative ideas arise, and whether creativity can be objectively defined and measured. The book can serve as an up-to-date introduction to the study of creativity in various disciplines, and the many references provide a way into the relevant literature.
