CfP: Scientific Creativity in Transdisciplinary Thinking
Papers selected for a special issue on "Scientific Creativity in Transdisciplinary Thinking" will be submitted to the Transdisciplinary Journal of Engineering and Science. The aim of this special issue is to rethink the essential step of scientific creativity which is at stake in any theoretical approach. Can we reduce scientific creativity to a simple association of aesthetic and scientific experiences, to the superimposition of imagination and reason? To what extent is scientific creativity fundamental for the transdisciplinary methodology? How does it create a new way of thinking? These questions will inevitably bring us back to various notions arts, literature and science have in commun such as reality, logic, fiction, etc.
Subjects of interest include the following concepts/problems:
- ontological: reality, realness, fiction
- logical: axioms, hypotheses, paradoxes, objectivation/rhetoric
- poetical: writing techniques, creation, representation (figures, formes, symbols)
- epistemological: imagination, knowledge, experience
- ecological: action/application, interaction/network
- spiritual: consciousness, hidden third, perception
- metaphysical: truth, space, time, beyond-spheres.
