Chapter Chapter 3 in Creativity in the Imagination Age, 2022, pp 41-64 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract A divine gift of God, creativity is the ingenuity that makes us humans. It is not just an attribute of artists and scientists but all humans, giving us the ability to create. Nonetheless, we need to find our ‘element’, the medium where all of us can excel. This chapter provides a critical account of creativity, drawing on different philosophical, scientific and academic traditions. A systematic critical analysis of the seminal thoughts will take you through the mysterious, complex and ambiguous territories of creativity. Finally, the difference between divine and human creativity has been grounded drawing on divinity.
