Creative Intelligence: Essays In The Pragmatic Attitude is a collection of essays written by John Dewey, a renowned philosopher and educator, that explores the concept of creativity and its relationship to intelligence. The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of creativity.In the first part, Dewey discusses the nature of intelligence and its role in creativity. He argues that intelligence is not a fixed trait, but rather a dynamic process that can be developed and enhanced through experience and practice. He also explores the relationship between intelligence and creativity, arguing that creativity is a form of intelligent problem-solving.In the second part of the book, Dewey examines the creative process itself, exploring the various stages involved in generating and developing new ideas. He discusses the importance of observation, imagination, and experimentation in the creative process, and offers practical advice for cultivating these skills.Finally, in the third part of the book, Dewey explores the social and cultural factors that influence creativity. He argues that creativity is not solely an individual trait, but is also shaped by the social and cultural context in which it occurs. He discusses the role of education, art, and other cultural institutions in fostering creativity, and offers insights into how these institutions can be improved to better support creative thinking.Overall, Creative Intelligence: Essays In The Pragmatic Attitude is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of creativity and its relationship to intelligence. It offers practical advice for cultivating creativity and suggests ways in which society can better support and encourage creative thinking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
