Summary "Essay on the Creative Imagination" by Th. Ribot is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the complexities of creativity, particularly focusing on the concept of imagination, which Ribot argues has been largely overlooked in contemporary psychology. He explores the motor nature of imagination, its emotional factors, and its organic conditions, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of how creative ideas are formed and expressed. The opening portion of the essay presents the translator's and author's prefaces, which highlight the need to better understand the creative imagination as a psychological phenomenon. Ribot argues that the study of the creative imagination is crucial yet often neglected, contrasting it with the more extensively examined reproductive imagination. He plans to analyze the creative imagination through various aspects, emphasizing its motor and emotional elements, and to explore how it operates in practical endeavors as well as artistic creation. The prefaces set the stage for a detailed examination of how creativity manifests and the underlying processes that contribute to it, marking a significant contribution to the field of psychology.
