The Creative Mind (by Margaret A. Boden)

*The Creative Mind* by Margaret A. Boden explores how creativity arises from the interplay between our existing knowledge, ideas, and mental processes. Boden explains that creativity involves generating new ideas by combining, transforming, or exploring known concepts in novel ways—whether through artistic, scientific, or everyday thinking. She discusses how both human intuition and computational systems can contribute to creative thinking and emphasizes that creativity is a blend of automatic processes and conscious insight. Overall, the book offers a thoughtful look at the nature of creativity, its psychological mechanisms, and its potential to be understood and replicated.
