Resumo: | We are going to investigate the nature of Creativity focusing on Peirce’s notion of abductive reasoning and on the main premises of the Theory of Self-Organization. As an initial hypothesis we characterize Creativity as a self-organizing process in which abductive reasoning occurs allowing the expansion of well-structured sets of beliefs.As originally characterized by Peirce, abduction - in contrast with deduction and induction - provides a mode of logical inference upon which creative reasoning is based. It starts with the perception of anomalies or apparently unsolvable problems: surprise and doubts initiate the abductive process of search and generation of those possible hypotheses that, if true, could resolve the problems in question.We argue that, as a kind of heuristics, abduction constitutes a guide for the process of expansion of beliefs. Our main hypothesis here is that this process can be investigated, from a theoretical perspective, in terms of the dynamics of order parameters shaping the flow of habits available to self-organizing systems. This hypothesis shall be developed in three steps:1. The main steps of abductive reasoning, as proposed by Peirce (1931-1958), shall be described with indications of its relevance for the present approach to creativity. This kind of reasoning is described as a particular form of activity of dynamic selforganizing systems.2. The premises of the theory of self-organization (TSO) will be introduced in order to illustrate the dynamics of creative systems.3. Finally, we focus on the notions of habits and order parameters to characterize the dynamics of creative systems in which abductive reasoning seems to take place.Through (1), (2) and (3) we provide an interdisciplinary approach to Creativity, involving contributions of semiotics, self-organization theory and dynamical system theory. |

Como hipótese inicial, caracterizaremos a criatividade como um processo de auto-organização, no qual ocorre o raciocínio abdutivo, possibilitando a expansão de conjuntos bem estruturados de crenças. Tal como originalmente caracterizada por Peirce, a abdução — em contraste com a dedução e a indução — constitui um modo de inferência sobre o qual se estrutura o raciocínio criativo. Este se inicia com a percepção de anomalias ou de problemas aparentemente insolúveis: surpresas e dúvidas iniciam o processo abdutivo de busca e geração daquelas hipóteses que, se consideradas verdadeiras, poderiam resolver os problemas em questão. Argumentaremos que a abdução, considerada como um tipo de heurística, constitui um guia para o processo de expansão de crenças. Nossa hipótese central é que esse processo pode ser investigado, de uma perspectiva teórica, em termos da dinâmica de formação de parâmetros de ordem que moldam o fluxo de disposições disponíveis aos sistemas que se auto-organizam. Essa hipótese será desenvolvida em 3 etapas: Na primeira, apresentamos as principais etapas do raciocínio abdutivo, tal como caracterizado por Peirce (1931—1958), considerando a sua relevância para o presente estudo da criatividade. Esse tipo de raciocínio é apresentado como uma forma particular de atividade dos sistemas dinâmicos auto-organizados. Na etapa seguinte, introduziremos as principais premissas da toria da autoorganização (TAO), ilustrando assim a sua aplicação em sistemas dinâmicos criativos. Finalmente, focalizaremos as noções de hábito e de parâmetro de ordem, caracterizando os sistemas dinâmicos criativos nos quais o raciocínio abdutivo parece ocorrer. Com base nessas três etapas, desenvolveremos então uma abordagem interdisciplinar da criatividade, envolvendo contribuições da semiótica, teoria da auto-organização e teoria dos sistemas dinâmicos.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2013-01-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/article/view/13248Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; No. 3 (2002); 22-31Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; n. 3 (2002); 22-312316-52781518-7187reponame:Cognitio (São Paulo.

We are going to investigate the nature of Creativity focusing on Peirce’s notion of abductive reasoning and on the main premises of the Theory of Self-Organization. As an initial hypothesis we characterize Creativity as a self-organizing process in which abductive reasoning occurs allowing the expansion of well-structured sets of beliefs.As originally characterized by Peirce, abduction - in contrast with deduction and induction - provides a mode of logical inference upon which creative reasoning is based. It starts with the perception of anomalies or apparently unsolvable problems: surprise and doubts initiate the abductive process of search and generation of those possible hypotheses that, if true, could resolve the problems in question.We argue that, as a kind of heuristics, abduction constitutes a guide for the process of expansion of beliefs. Our main hypothesis here is that this process can be investigated, from a theoretical perspective, in terms of the dynamics of order parameters shaping the flow of habits available to self-organizing systems. This hypothesis shall be developed in three steps:1.
