Summary:

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. 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.
