My approach in redefining the notion of creativity benefits from contemporary research on neurophenomenology and from a life scientific framework more generally. In this regard, providing an interpretation of the notion of creativity that takes into account constraints and stochasticity (randomness) is simply a theoretical continuum, which is in harmony with modern theoretical developments. Generally, moderns cience sympathizes with different approaches, which address their questions from a standpoint of nonlinear dynamics and complex (adaptive) systems. In line with this trend, I believe that by studying how different things, events, outcomes, and occurrences emerge and evolve from a more up-to-date point of view (i.e. a complex stochastic approach) - and by converting this comprehension into a humanisitic discourse - it is possible to articulate more clearly the 'mechanism of creativity'. Moreover, it seems that a life scientific approach may overcome the so-caleld Cartesian divide, which in turn is critical in the era of the Anthropocene. To my knowledge there is no framework that would support different endeavours targeted at stretching boundaries in general. To me it seems that both the scientific method and its outcome (i.e. scientific knowledge) could benefit from a theoretical tool that is tailored for dealing with different maturing occurrences. Yet, currently it seems that my attempt leads to a certain idealized interpretation of creativity. ------------------------------ Upcoming Seminars *May 19th* Daniel Schimmelpfennig A transdisciplinary impact assessment of the metasystem transitions *May 26th* Marjorikka Ylisiurua TBA *June 2nd* Vincenzo De Florio Service-oriented communities: A novel architecture for smarter systems and organizations See also the ECCO/GBI calendar <https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=azMyN252aWluM2JoMnU3MXY5OGt2ZzliOGdAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ> .
