Beethoven Hegel Adorno Mazzola
Depending on the definition picked from Mazzola for creativity, we face the problem of new-ness, but I don't much see new-ness as that much related to creativity as I do not see creativity as moving into being ex nihilo . Indeed, when we say animals are creative, we usually mean that they make babies of the same type, not new kinds of animals. Computational Counterpoint We do, however, moving toward ex nihilo , tend to think of creativity in the arts as tiger-alligators. Exotic Counterpoint I am, however, content with creativity in the ordinary sense: the act of making. When Mazzola lays out his scheme for creativity, i.e., the act of making, not the shamanistic act of bringing the new into being, his terms for creativity move closer to this sense of making, which, put in terms of context-concept, are somewhat Hegelian: Hegel on Concepts Conceptual Basis Hegel's Philosophy of Art Beethoven Hegel Adorno Dialectics as Counterpoint
