I don't think so. Charles Babbage comes immediately to (my) mind. Most people (even among scientists and mathematicians) didn't "get" the potential value of his Difference Engine (a big mechanical calculator) or Analytical Engine (a mechanical computer), but ~150 years later, it was hard to imagine the world without (electronic versions of) them. (Of course, the fact that he never managed to build either of them didn't help matters.) Chris -- Christopher D.

An interesting question, but I'm not sure Van Gogh is a good example.
He only began painting ten years before his death at the age of 37 (how
many painters achieve fame within such a short span of time starting
from scratch?), and by biographical accounts it seems that his most
famous paintings were in the last two or three years of his life. My
impression is that it is less a case of his paintings "not being
thought of too highly" than of their simply not being generally known
to the public until his brother Theo revealed the treasure trove
Vincent left on his death.

So, which is worse: rank neuroscience research or research on
creativity?
In cognitive psychology courses that I teach, I point out that
the theory and tasks often used in creativity research might be
fun things to do in the lab but are severely lacking in ecological
validity and provide no real insight into what is consider "truly
creative" by a society at any particular time. Indeed, it is the
artful formulaic social artefacts that are often seen as pleasing,
widely popular, and "creative", especially in popular culture where
"re-imagining" of old franchises in movies like "Star Trek", the
Jason Bourne character, Batman and numerous comic book
characters that constitute a large part of contemporary U.S.
movie making serve as example of "successful acts of creation".
In this sense, "Avatar" trumps "The Hurt Locker" even though the
latter may be seen as more creative artistically ("Avatar" is more
of a technical achievement) but financially lacking in return.
Avatar wins because it made the most money not because it
was the more creative work.
A good example from the movies about creativity in the movies
is Robert Altman's film "The Player" which pokes fun at a number
of Hollywood film convention (including the Hollywood happy
ending) as well as showing in its "film within a film" how an
original story is converted into a "commercially viable" movie
(with the persons with the original idea for the movie becoming
corrupted in the process of producing a successful "product").
Altman was a wise movie-maker and used a number of traditional
conventions from the crime/mystery genre to subvert the film
(e.g., the film has a happy ending but only if one isn't too morally
particular).
Additional examples includes how source materials had to be
changed in order to make movies more successful but less creative.
In the movie "Forrest Gump" there is a particular characterization
of Forrest presented but one that clashes with the character in the
novel who spent time as a wrestler (The Dunce) who wore diapers
in his matches. Which treatment is more creative? Which is "safer"?
In the movie "The Natural" Robert Redford plays the ball player
"Roy Hobbes" who astounds in the "feel good" walk-off home run
that wins the National League pennant for the New York Knights.
But read the summary of Bernard Malamud's novel "The Natural"
here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Natural
And compare it to the film version here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Natural_%28film%29
It should be clear why the movie version of the "The Natural" would
turn out to be successful but is a less creative work. Creativity
is truly a difficult concept to pin down because of its dependence on
different values (e.g., artistry, technical prowese, insight, commercial
return, etc.) which will vary across time and places. Vincent van Gogh
is a great example of an artist who's work was not thought of too
highly during his life but after his death his work is seen as being
great
and influences the work of many artists; see:

of tremendous value at another time? Is being creative and producing
creative works something that can be easily recognized and appreciated
without knowledge of the values driving the creation of the work and the
social context it is being produced in? I don't think so.
Creativity is a very slippery concept and perhaps psychological
research on it has only trivialized our understanding of it..
Or not.

Re: [tips] What Academics Are Writing About These Days...
Allen is perhaps exempt, given his background, but it seems to me that
psychologists complaining about the turgidity of other scholars' prose
is a very dangerous game to be play. If anyone is guilty of
intentionally making relatively simple ideas seem complicated by giving
them inordinately arcane labels in order to render them "scientific," it
is psychologists.
My personal (anti-)favorite has always been the behaviorists' penchant
for using "perseverate" whne they mean simply to repeat or continue.

Scott At the very bottom of the page (which few people might get to) is the following: 34 queries. 3.197 seconds. || Powered by WordPress || Hosted by DreamHost So, Monash is apparently no longer hosting it. >P.S.

I was waiting to see how long it took Tipsters to realize that the essay was continually changing. I assumed the "AHA!" experience would have occurred when people started to talk about the essay they saw and then realized that they were talking about different essays. Then again, if they read all the way through to the bottom, they would have seen the following: |The essay you have just seen is completely meaningless and was randomly |generated by the Postmodernism Generator. To generate another essay, |follow this link. If you liked this particular essay and would like to return to it, |follow this link for a bookmarkable page. |... |This installation of the Generator has delivered 4362078 essays since |25/Feb/2000 18:43:09 PST, when it became operational.

This is from one of my all-time favorite Websites - the random postmodernism generator hosted (I think, still) by Monash University in Melborune. Scott P.S. As Mike P. surely knows, you'll get a different postmodern essay each time you click on the link.
