Description
Summary:The author proposes to turn to a detailed consideration of such form of activity as “creativity”, proposing it as the main form of practical refraction of the spiritual appearance of the personality, as its essential effective component. The category “creativity” is viewed as a synthesis of creativity and a willingness to transform the world, a motivation to work for the benefit of humanity. In this respect, the semantic equivalent of this term, which is widely spread among various language groups, is somewhat broader than its English version of this category – the term “building” or “creativity”, which, we think, focus more on the external aspect of the activity, character and transformation results than in the inner spiritual impulse to collective altruistic work. We regard “creativity” as a category, which embodying creativity, but not reduced to it, largely taking into account the nature of the relationship with previous transformations, continuity, in essence, as a manifestation of culture in its original meaning of processing and improvement. In this context, the category of “creativity”, taking into account the nature of homeostasis, maintaining the stability of the system, can be considered as a necessary element of sustainable development, directing a noospheric society, overcoming the system of environmental, demographic problems. Like the English term “building,” the category “creativity” reveals the nature of achieving an intellectual goal through projective engineering, inventive activity, and modernization of production. At the same time, the term “creativity” takes into consideration the cumulative capital of achievements, accumulation, enrichment, and the systemic nature of doing business, expressed by the term “management”, as the art of system management. Creativity is considered as an organic unity of demonstration of social and personal and, therefore, can be considered as a kind of spiritual bridge connecting culture and civilization, the world of dreams, the world of imagination, the spiritual world and the world of everyday life. Creativity is not only an ontological expression of the “rootedness” of the individual in the system of personal and social being, such as the nature of life activity that guarantees survival, protection and security, but also a motivational readiness for a fundamental transformation of the world that can prevent the destructive impact on civilization of global present-day problems. We believe that Creativity should be considered as the leading concept of education, supporting in the personality’s aimed at self-affirmation and development that is being a condition for moving to the future.
