This book deals with the theme of creativity in the animal world,
conceived as a basic function for adapting to specific situations
and as a source of innovations and inventions. Creativity is a
fundamental resource for the individual who always has a leading
role in conduct. To explain creativity, the book focuses on the
concept of animal subjectivity, providing a new explanatory model
of behavior capable of overcoming the image of the animal moved by
automatisms. This model does not use consciousness as a necessary
condition, but is based: 1) on affective components, such as
behavioral motives, and 2) cognitive, as tools used by the subject
to carry out his purposes. Particular attention is paid to the
learning processes showing the subjective character of the
experience. One topic addressed is the role of creativity in the
evolution of living beings: how an invention, by modifying the
niche characteristics, is able to change the selective pressures
and the trajectory of phylogeny. Roberto Marchesini explains that
creativity is a factor that is anything but rare or exceptional in
the animal world-it constitutes a fundamental quality for many
aspects of animal life.
