Inhaltsangabe

The Author writes, I see myself as a scientist who has discovered some very important factors in the development of individuals and civilizations; and my theory is an explanation of both what makes people highly creative and what makes societies grow, prosper, and decline. The author encapsulates his theory with the acronym GAM/DP. GAM -- Individual: Three factors contribute to the development of personality and creativity of the individual. Good genetic endowment (G) e.g., intelligence, temperaments, specific talents, and by valid assistances (A) e.g., from parents, schools, books when combined with major misfortunes (M) of youth e.g., early parental death, physical infirmity, stimulates a personality which conflicts with society, providing in that tension material for creativity. DP -- Society: A society is creative where it develops within long periods when power is fought or grudgingly shared. Such division of power (DP) e.g. between emperor and pope, between state and church; between two or more major ideologies, fosters critical thinking. People begin to mistrust the power holder. They have the courage to speak their mind, to be creative on matters that are not those wanted by the power holder. This important, revolutionary theory combines for the first time these two aspects of personality and creativity those particular to a given number of a social group (GAM), as well as those unique to that society (DP). In this volume VI, Therivel has researched extensively on Tagore s High GxAxMXDP, the high creativity of Rabbinic Judaism and its Talmud, and Nine Eminent Women. This theory applies equally to Eastern and Western creators, Eastern and Western civilization, and women.
