About This Item
Hutchinson & Company, 1st edition.. Hardcover. Fine. ""Arthur Koestler argues that the scientist's insight is similar to the artist's act of creation, and that they share certain psychological conditions. Examining the common factors in scientific, artistic, and comic creations, he gives examples from psychology."" [Pub. Info] ""While the study of psychology has offered little in the way of explaining the creative process, Koestler examines the idea that we are at our most creative when rational thought is suspended - for example, in dreams and trancelike states.""
