Genius: The Natural History of Creativity Paperback - 1995

by H. J. Eysenck


From the publisher

Genius: The Natural History of Creativity presents a novel theory of genius and creativity that is based on the personality characteristics of creative persons and geniuses. Starting with the fact that genius and creativity are frequently related to psychopathology, this book brings together many different lines of research into the subject. Professor Eysenck provides experimental evidence to support these theories in their application to creativity. He considers the role of intelligence, social status, gender, and many other factors that have been linked with genius and creativity. His theory traces creativity from DNA through personality to special cognitive processes to genius. The book will generate a great deal of interest in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, philosophy, and sociology.

First line

There are many books on the topic of genius; since the days of Aristotle and Plato, philosophers, artists, teachers, scientists, psychiatrists and lately psychologists have combined to tell us what genius is, how it is produced, how it relates to madness, how it can be cultivated.
