The Creative Mind by Margaret A. Boden, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

How is it possible to think new thoughts? What is creativity and can science explain it? And just how did Coleridge dream up the creatures ofThe Ancient Mariner?When TheCreative Mind: Myths and Mechanismswas first published, Margaret A. Boden's bold and provocative exploration of creativity broke new ground. Boden uses examples such as jazz improvisation, chess, story writing, physics, and the music of Mozart, together with computing models from the field of artificial intelligence to uncover the nature of human creativity in the arts. The second edition ofThe Creative Mindhas been updated to include recent developments in artificial intelligence, with a new preface, introduction and conclusion by the author. It is an essential work for anyone interested in the creativity of the human mind. | The Creative Mind by Margaret A. Boden, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
