TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Saturday, February 07, 2004
I'd like to suggest Koestler's "The Act of Creation: part one, the jester" for possible discussion, upon two points. One, I enjoyed his writing; and two, I found his observations interesting. For those that don't have time to read it, (or those who have succumbed to senioritis already), one of Koestler arguments is that humor is the only form of creativity that engenders sharp physiological reflex. What do you think?
(Oh, and Reason number 3: It's about creativity!)
