Poesía y creatividad: introducción a una poética de la creación

Abstract

Creativity is a perceptible value throughout History. Due to its mysterious origin, scholars have put forward different theorical proposals, which can be divided into two great groups: those doctrines dating from the Antiquity, which attribute creative inspiration to an advent external to the creator, and those which begin to consolidate as early as the Renaissance, which consider that creativity is a profoundly human activity; therefore its origin should be found in the linguistic capacities, as a representation of reality. The latest advances aim at the cognitive science as a modern explanation of this question, as well as the ontological values which lie on the basis of this activity. Our reference will be Poetry, creative activity par execellence.
