| Summary: | Among all creations of God living on this planet, Man is the most intelligent, innovative and creative.
Imbued with these qualities, Man was able to plan, create and recreate new things using the resources
available in the environment. Man’s position as God’s best creation and as the recipient of the creative
intelligence from his Creator has further advanced him in mastering science and technology. As a result
of his advancement in knowledge and science in one way or another has ushered Man into creating great
civilizations. While the discussion goes on as to whether Man’s creativity is an inborn or a learned
behaviour, this paper intends to explore and analyze some of the existing concepts of human creativity
found in Western and Islamic psychologies. Very particularly, the researchers would like to examine the
concept of creativity put forward by Freudian Psychoanalysis, Behaviorist, Humanistic and Islamic
psychologies. It is expected that the findings of this research can motivate mankind to be more dynamic
and productive in bringing much needed positive change to present world conditions |
