CONSONANCE BETWEEN CREATIVITY AND EDUCATION IN ȘTEFAN ODOBLEJA CONSONANTIST PSYCHOLOGY
Abstract
By a remarkable synthesizing capacity and a multidisciplinary thinking, the pioneer of cybernetics, Ștefan Odobleja, offered us – through its major work Psychologie consonantiste (1938-1939) – an outstanding vision as regards creativity and education for human beingness. In this paper, I try to emphasize the contribution of the Romanian scholar in building a theory about innovation, in the framework of a philosophy of creation on the ground of education; by priority, following the topics of the genesis of great ideas within the personality unity, together with the action of the reversibility law linked to the sentiment, desire, aspiration in the self-fulfillment of human being. I approach the problem of creativity and the plurality of education’s divisions, according to Ștefan Odobleja, such as: intense, positive, total, general, etc. education, by pointing out his idea on creativity and education as the foundation of modelling future generations.
