Historical and epistemological basis on objective creativity research

Abstract

Despite the many actors and non linear sequence of events, creativity’s psychological knowledge possibilities history describes how characters sometimes converge and diverge their methodological approaches over time, searching for an operational definition of the phenomenon. This literature review introduces the understandig of creativity’s research history through a spirall time line, in which objectivity and subjectivity surround both empirical and rational biases. While mystical, psychodynamic, and pragmatic biases interact to create a cohesive concept of genius, energy supply, and accomplishment, psychometric, historiometric, systemic, componential, and integrative vectors, all five exponents of scientific creativity, have little or no intersection.
