In this philosophical exploration of creativity, Irving Singer describes the manydifferent types of creativity and their varied manifestations within and across all the arts andsciences. Singer's approach is pluralistic rather than abstract or dogmatic. His reflections amplifyrecent discoveries in cognitive science and neurobiology by aligning them with the aesthetic,affective, and phenomenological framework of experience and behavior that characterizes the humanquest for meaning. Creativity has long fascinated Singer, and in Modes ofCreativity he carries forward investigations begun in earlier works. Marshaling a wealthof examples and anecdotes ranging from antiquity to the present, about persons as diverse as AlbertEinstein and Sherlock Holmes, Singer describes the interactions of the creative and the imaginative,the inventive, the novel, and the original. He maintains that our preoccupation with creativitydevolves from biological, psychological, and social bases of our material being; that creativity isnot limited to any single aspect of human existence but rather inheres not only in art and theaesthetic but also in science, technology, moral practice, as well as ordinary dailyexperience.
