Creativity and the Quantum: A Unified Theory of Creativity

Abstract

Creativity theories are as diverse as the worldviews in which they are wrapped. Recently, an integrative science and an integrated worldview have been founded on two giant pillars of human thought—the philosophy of monistic idealism and quantum physics. In this article, a unification of the theories of creativity is accomplished based on this integrative science and worldview. New definitions for the phenomenon are proposed and justified. A theory of the creative process is formulated, and applications of the unified theory are briefly discussed.
