The Literacy of Creativity -The Emergent Dynamics Beyond Expectations-

Abstract

Creativity is a major component in many of the aspects of our usual lives, and on a broader scale, creativity does enhance human evolution and then the resultant changes could enhance the cultural and scientific evolution. Creativity, in an even more generalized sense and not restricted to human activities, can be considered as a feature of unexpected development that is triggered by a sudden match of the given stage of a developmental process with a forward directing solution that is not formally following from the characteristics of the development itself, but utilizes some seemingly unexplained occurrences. In this more general sense, an abstract variant of creativity can be associated with nature and evolution, as well as with innovative solutions to problems facing humans. Creativity should be therefore considered as the emergent dynamics throughout history. Some features of creativity are discussed in the context of literacy.
