The Creative Process in the Individual: A Philosophical Study of Mind and Creative Law Paperback - 2007

A systematic examination of the principles governing thought, causation, and individual creative agency within early twentieth-century philosophical writing.

In The Creative Process in the Individual, Thomas Troward sets out a structured account of the relationship between mind and reality, presenting a framework in which thought operates as a formative influence within a broader universal order. Drawing upon legal reasoning and metaphysical inquiry, Troward develops a series of arguments concerning causation, mental action, and the conditions under which individual creativity becomes effective.

The work proceeds through a sequence of carefully arranged chapters, each addressing a specific aspect of mental and creative law. Troward distinguishes between abstract principle and practical application, maintaining a controlled and methodical tone throughout. His analysis reflects the intellectual environment of the early twentieth century, where questions of mind, science, and philosophy were increasingly brought into relation.

First published in 1910, The Creative Process in the Individual has remained a significant text within the study of New Thought and early modern philosophy. This unabridged edition presents the complete text, offering a clear and consistent reading of Troward's original work.
