The Art of Thought - Graham Wallas

Descriere

nThe first in time I shall call Preparation, the stage during which the problem was 'investigated ... in all directions'; n the second is the stage during which he was not consciously thinking about the problem, which I shall call Incubation; n the third, consisting of the appearance of the 'happy idea' together with the psychological events which immediately preceded and accompanied that appearance, I shall call Illumination. n And I shall add a fourth stage, of Verification ... n Solis Press are pleased to be able to republish Wallas' seminal book on creativity that had sadly been out of print for many years. n n Graham Wallas (1858-1932) was a social psychologist and educationalist who helped found the London School of Economics. n n This edition is based on the first edition of 1926 and has been completely reset in fresh type. n n Wallas plainly is courgageous, tolerant, keenly observant, and widely experienced in social matters.
