ABSTRACT

Human civilization has experienced sparks of creativity at different historic times to solve problems in new ways, so creativity in the form of destruction (renewals) is well understood in the art world. Creativity means different things to different people, cultures, civilizations, and religions. Plato, Kant, and Vygotsky define creativity as a state of mind that one experiences platonic love, inspiration, renewal, growth, self-discovery, higher meaning of life, stillness, connection to surroundings, and goodness. Some believe that creativity and practicality are two different mindsets and different ways of thinking. Others argue that the two different mindsets conflict.
