Creativity is the production of something which experts consider to be original, valuable and of high quality. James Hamilton explores Hobbes's creativity by focusing on his development, personality, and motivation in the context of his culture and environment, and on the ways in which he thought creatively, as inferred from his writings. Identification of the ideas which Hobbes drew upon is an important part of the study for two reasons. First, they are necessary to determine which of Hobbes's ideas and theories are original and which are not. Second, analysis of his creativity requires an understanding of the ideas from which he drew. Hamilton concludes that Hobbes became a great philosopher because of his creative virtuosity. James J. Hamilton served in the U.S. Foreign Service from 1979 to 2006. He received his Ph.D. in Political Science from Columbia University in 1978, and taught briefly at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN. 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aIntellectual life$xHistory 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aPolitical Theory 606 $aIntellectual History 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aIntellectual life$xHistory. 615 14$aPhilosophy. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aIntellectual History. 676 $a192 700 $aHamilton$b James J$0141649 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910725087803321 996 $aHobbes's Creativity$93367520 997 $aUNINA
