Beschreibung
Philosophy of Creativity is a prolegomenon in the field of philosophical studies of creativity. The book sets forth a cross and multi-cultural point of view, emphasizing points of agreement between seminal thinkers and living traditions over the whole earth. The seven chapters turn about the philosophical and spiritual notion of creativity. Creativity is presented as metaparadigm, or the philosophical way that critiques and transcends paradigms, while intrepreting them in light of this novel meta-paradigmatic perspective. This work draws important insights from major philosophical traditions in both the Orient and the Western world such as Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Pragmatism, Existentialism, Phenomenology, and Process Philosophy.

«One of the best treatments I have seen of the topic. It is fresh, seminal, immensely suggestive, and eminently worth sharing with all who seek to learn more about creativity.» (Lewis E. Hahn, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale)
«With fresh insights...(this) study is a bold and distinctive contribution to both east-west philosophy and the philosophy of creativity.» (Howard L. Parsons, University of Bridgeport)
«Readers of Miller's book will find at once that creativity is a matter of life and death...It is good news that this life-giving and yet potentially tragic subject can now be read by millions throughout the world.» (Nolan Pliny Jacobson, Professor Emeritus, Winthrop College) «This is a brilliant and clear integration of insights from Whitehead, Peirce, Wiemann, Hume, Chuang-Tzu and Confucius, among others. It is a major contribution to the re-emergence of radical empiricism and religious naturalism. Miller's book provides philosophical underpinnings and practical guidance for an ecological and planetary ethic.» (Jerome A.Stone)
