Description: Value of Creativity : The Origins and Emergence of a Modern Belief, Hardcover by Mason, John Hope, ISBN 0754607607, ISBN-13 9780754607601, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In the middle years of the 19th century, the creativity of humans began to be held up as the essential value to life. This text attempts to examine the origins of this value and attempts to explain why it became assigned to cultural and artistic endeavors, rather than economics or technology. Exploring this development in the writings of European intellectuals, he argues that this situation is the result of the divisions in European thought between, on the one hand, a Judaeo- Christian notion of God as creator and the neo-Platonic notion of the originating One, both of which identified creativity with moral goodness and, on the other, the persistent myth of Prometheus that associated creativity with conflict and disruption.
