Resumo: | In the last decades the idea of creativity has gained increasing interesting in the field of philosophy, cognitive sciences, sociology, etc. and there have been renewed contribution regarding the classic idea of creativity. We consider the contribution of classic pragmatism deserve special mention – particularly in the works of Charles. S. Peirce and John Dewey. In this article, we are going to refer exclusively to the Deweyan treatment of this idea. We will sustain that Dewey’s theory provides interpretative elements which are innovative and disruptive regarding the philosophical tradition including a novelty conception of creative imagination. We will expose some consequences of his position – as we interpret it. In effect, we are going to sustain that Dewey moves away from classic demands to which a creative product involves, necessarily a radical transformation of human life, according with the idea of degrees of creativity; that Deweyan’s theory constitute an interesting insight for promoting the creative attitude; that the creative process retains the same structure in all cases - science and art, for example - and that creativity is now an intrinsic potentiality of human beings - which may be realized or not. Finally, we consider the relevance of some Deweyan thesis for nowadays positions, as in the case of the cognitive psychologist Robert Weisberg, emphasizing their coincidences and disagree. |

Consideramos que a contribuição do pragmatismo clássico merece uma menção especial – em especial, as obras de Charles S. Peirce e John Dewey. Neste artigo, iremos nos referir, exclusivamente, ao tratamento deweyiano a essa ideia. Sustentaremos que a teoria de Dewey fornece elementos interpretativos que são inovadores e disruptivos com relação à tradição filosófica, inclusive, uma nova concepção de imaginação criativa. Exporemos algumas consequências de sua posição – como nós a interpretamos. Com efeito, sustentaremos que Dewey afasta-se das demandas clássicas para as quais um produto criativo envolve, necessariamente, uma transformação radical da vida humana, segundo a ideia de níveis de criatividade; essa teoria deweyiana constitui um insight interessante para a promoção da atitude criativa; esse processo criativo preserva a mesma estrutura em todos os casos – ciência e arte, por exemplo – e essa criatividade é, agora, uma potencialidade intrínseca dos seres humanos – a qual pode ser realizada ou não. Por fim, consideramos a relevância de alguma tese deweyiana para as posições atuais, como no caso do psicólogo cognitivo Robert Weisberg, enfatizando as coincidências e desacordos de ambos.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2018-09-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/article/view/3807810.23925/2316-5278.2018v19i1p77-87Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 19 No. 1 (2018); 77-87Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; v. 19 n. 1 (2018); 77-872316-52781518-7187reponame:Cognitio (São Paulo.
