Transdisciplinary Reflections on Glăveanu’s “Crisis” of the Psychology of Creativity

Abstract

Glăveanu’s essay is a call for a radical re-examination not only of the psychology of creativity, but of the entire academic enterprise. It challenges our disciplinary fragmentation and reminds us of the importance of stepping back and understanding the larger enterprise of inquiry, the need to relate theory and practice, to communicate among disciplines and research programs, and to integrate. Transdisciplinarity is an emerging approach that helps in understanding the challenges ahead, and provides directions for future work.
