SynopsisA distinguished historian of science traces the relationship of creative thinking and the construction of new scientific concepts. Case studies of classic theories by scientists whose research was influenced by their views on the nature of thinking are contrasted with modern theories on creative development through Gestalt psychology, cognitive science, and genetic epistemology. Unabridged republication of the edition originally published by the MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1986.
