Creative Activity as a Means of Counteracting the Crisis and Extreme Factors of Human Existence

The purpose of the interdisciplinary research is to analyze the creative activity as a means of counteracting the crisis and extreme factors of human existence. This analysis is based on an interdisciplinary study of the systemic foundations of creativity. Six aspects of creativity studies have been outlined, covering: 1) The emergent nature of creativity in the context of explosive/bifurcation generation of the creativity process and its connection with chaos, uncertainty. 2) The process of creativity as “creativity for creativity’s sake”, revealing its non-pragmatic/non-targeted nature. 3) Motivation of the creative process. 4) The spatial creativity that presupposes the ability of a person to combine different and opposing things, thus expressing the self-referent, non-adaptive nature of creativity. 5) The material, “bodily” creativity, associated with the human organism, shows the connection of creativity with human health, thus counteracting the crisis and extreme factors of human existence. 6) The chronal nature of creativity, revealing its linearevolutionary, developmental nature.
