Creativity, Psychology, and the History of Science offers for
the first time a comprehensive overview of the oeuvre of Howard E.
Gruber, who is noted for his contributions both to the psychology
of creativity and to the history of science. Gruber is a pioneer in
combining history of science and cognitive psychology by means of
detailed and meticulous case studies. His award-winning books
Darwin on man and The essential Piaget are both modern
classics.
The present book includes papers from a wide range of topics. In
the contributions to creativity research, Gruber proposes his key
ideas for studying creative work. Gruber focuses on how the
thinking, motivation and affect of extraordinarily creative
individuals evolve and how they interact over long periods of time.
Gruber s approach bridges many disciplines and subdisciplines in
psychology and beyond, several of which are represented in the
present volume: cognitive psychology, developmental psychology,
history of science, aesthetics, and politics. The volume thus
presents a unique and comprehensive contribution to our
understanding of the creative process. Many of Gruber's papers have
not previously been easily accessible; they are presented here in
thoroughly revised form. The book is for psychologists, historians
and philosophers of science interested in the intersection of
psychology and the history of science. "
