Deleuze's notion of creative thought from "summary" of The Psychology of the Imagination by Jean-Paul Sartre
Gilles Deleuze's theory of creative thought explores the potential for new ideas to emerge from the human mind. His philosophy proposes that when we let go of our preconceived notions, we can open our minds to new possibilities and create innovative concepts.- Deleuze's notion of creative thought postulates that the process of thinking is always unpredictable and produces unexpected ideas.
- This form of creative thinking isn’t concerned with correctness or a particular outcome; instead it taps into fresh and innovative ways of seeing the world.
- Through this kind of thinking, we are freed from our preconceived notions and discover something different and new in the world around us.
- We can achieve this by practising openness to possibility and unpredictability in thought as well as resisting intellectual stagnation.
- In doing so, we open ourselves up to exploring alternate perspectives and unpredicted outcomes which adds more colour to our lives.
- We begin to recognise the infinity of ideas and possibilities, allowing our minds to be truly liberated.
