Book Synopsis
First published in 1986, neither the creative process nor the art object, singly or together, has been often in the forefront of sociological attention. The author suggests that we may safely assume that art is multidetermined, and that an adequate explanation of creativity will draw upon the conceptual and evidential resources of psychology, sociology, and anthropology. This is a study building on Harry Murray's classic Explorations in Personality of the 1930s.
