Boredom, Messianism, and Primordial Broth

Abstract

The paper presented is a commentary on Prof. Vlad P. Glăveanu's paper published in the previous volume of the journal. In reaction to his inspiring and valuable text, while confirming the vast majority of his detailed observations, I have articulated a different opinion about its main conclusion: the presence of a crisis in the domain of the psychology of creativity. In my opinion such a crisis does not exist. On the contrary: intense, though rather unsystematic, development may be observed within the discipline. This standpoint is explained in detail in my commentary.
