{"product_id":"on-creativity","title":"On Creativity","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Bohm's profound exploration of creativity as the fundamental force in human experience—a visionary investigation into how genuine creativity emerges not from technique or effort but from insight, revealing the creative process as a doorway to transformation in science, art, and life itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Bohm (1917-1992), renowned quantum physicist and philosopher, presents \u003cem\u003eOn Creativity\u003c\/em\u003e as a comprehensive inquiry into the nature of creative insight. Drawing from his work in physics, his dialogues with Krishnamurti, and his understanding of consciousness, Bohm reveals creativity not as a special talent possessed by a few but as a fundamental capacity available to all—when the mind is free from fragmentation and open to the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you'll discover:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreativity as insight—sudden perception that reorganizes understanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow fragmented thinking blocks creative flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy genuine creativity emerges from the unknown, not accumulated knowledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe creative process in science, art, and everyday life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow dialogue and collective thinking unlock creative potential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe difference between mechanical repetition and genuine originality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBohm's central insight is that creativity is not about producing novel combinations of existing ideas but about perceiving something fundamentally new. This requires a quality of attention that is free from the mechanical patterns of thought—a state of openness where insight can emerge. Whether in scientific discovery, artistic expression, or simply living with awareness, creativity arises when the mind is not trapped in what it already knows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this book essential is Bohm's ability to illuminate creativity from multiple angles—as physicist, philosopher, and contemplative thinker. He shows how the same fragmentation that blocks scientific insight also blocks artistic expression and personal transformation. True creativity requires wholeness: the integration of intellect and intuition, reason and imagination, the known and the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow does creativity actually work? What creates the conditions where insight can flourish? How do we move from mechanical repetition to genuine originality? What is the relationship between creativity and consciousness?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBohm's answers—drawn from quantum physics, artistic practice, and contemplative wisdom—await in \u003cem\u003eOn Creativity\u003c\/em\u003e, offering not techniques or formulas but something more valuable: understanding of how genuine creativity emerges from wholeness rather than fragmentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Artists, scientists, and anyone interested in the creative process, readers of David Bohm and contemplative philosophy, students of consciousness and transformation, those seeking to unlock creative potential, and contemplative readers drawn to understanding how genuine originality emerges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis paperback edition presents Bohm's complete exploration of creativity—a life-affirming investigation by one of the most far-sighted thinkers of the modern age.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Bohm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46377413116035,"sku":"BS-3QC-336406","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1583\/7571\/files\/9780415336406-HD.jpg?v=1768752745","url":"https:\/\/www.merceliarose.com\/products\/on-creativity","provider":"Mercelia Rose","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
