This course aims to explore Creative Systems Theory, which seeks to formulate the mechanisms underlying creativity. The theory posits that creativity is an autopoietic system consisting of discoveries as elements. To understand this theory, a deep understanding of foundational theories and philosophies is essential. Each week involves two types of assignments: preparatory homework, which requires reading a substantial amount of challenging academic literature and summarizing it; and review homework, where you revisit the material after class to solidify your understanding.
