About Creativity in Science: Chance, Logic, Genius, and Zeitgeist

<span>Psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, historians - and even <br> scientists themselves - have often tried to decipher the basis for <br> creativity in science. Some have attributed creativity to a special <br> logic, the so-called scientific method, whereas others have pointed to <br> the inspirations of genius or to the inevitable workings of the <br> zeitgeist. Finally, some have viewed scientific breakthroughs as the <br> product of chance, as witnessed in the numerous episodes of serendipity.<br> Too often these four alternative interpretations are seen as mutually <br> exclusive. Yet the central thesis of this book is that the chance, <br> logic, genius, and zeitgeist perspectives can be integrated into a <br> single coherent theory of creativity in science. But for this <br> integration to succeed, change must be elevated to the status of primary<br> cause. Logic, genius and the zeitgeist still have significant roles to <br> play but mainly operate insofar as they enhance, or constrain the <br> operation of a chance combinatorial process.</span>
